What is the Active Living Committee?
The Breckenridge Active Living Committee collaboratively works to promote and improve the health of residents by supporting regular activity through environmental changes such as “Complete Streets”, sidewalks, and bicycle trails. Safety and respect of all users of the transportation networks in the community is promoted through education.
Current Project:
Safe Routes to School
The West Central Initiative and MnDOT Grant in the amount of $225,000 was awarded for the Safe Routes to School project in 2022.There will be additional local contribution needed for the amount remaining of approximately $197,000. The city has allocated $100,000 from capital outlay fund in 2018 budget. Remaining balance is approximately $97,000 (maybe less with tree replacement and removal being done through the city); there is a possibility of grant opportunities as time allows (example: radar speed signs).
Project will get in motion June 2019 starting with selecting a project manager and environmental project reviews.
