Next week the City of Moscow is coordinating their first bicycle and pedestrian count in various locations in their city. They’re hoping to collect travel data in the city for an upcoming transportation plan. The project is being done through the Active Living Task Force which promotes Complete Streets policies and implementation in Moscow. Their goal, they say, is to make Moscow a healthier community by engaging the public and planning for infrastructure that supports active and healthy living.

The three observation times are:

• October 13th, 7-9 a.m.
• October 13th, 4-6 p.m.
• October 15th, 10 a.m. to Noon

To volunteer, contact Jen Pfiffner at (208) 883-7123 or email icount@ci.moscow.id.us

Moscow and Pullman residents will have to find alternative transportation if the Wheatland Express was their primary mode of transportation between the two cities. Due to the lack of economical feasibility, the two universities are ending their agreements with the shuttle service. A downward trend in ridership combined with projected increases in contract costs is to blame.
