Happy New Year
Hi Everyone, My name is David (That’s me in the yellow) I’ve been living in Footscray, Essendon, and now Moonee Ponds for about five years and I love the area, but know that we have to shape our world to better and I hope you can help! (Or just open this email!)

MooneeBUG Meeting
I wanted to kick-off the year with a meeting at the Union Hotel in Ascot Vale at 7PM on Tuesday 6th February for those that are interested to discuss plans for the year, ways we can partner with council, vicroads, and other stakeholders, and potential projects to champion.
Please let me know by reply or hit attending on Facebook.

BikeSpot
BikeSpot is a way to get meaningful data about dangerous, unsafe, or unsuitable cycling facilities. There are only two weeks remaining for for BikeSpot, and it is really easy to add spots on the map.
My ask: To help advocate for better cycling facilities, please find the time to add 5 spots (good or bad) on the map. Maybe the narrow bike path, the pothole, or the shared path with a dead-end.
