Once you've finished your tour, EBNP & Freewheel are whipping up a cookout for the neighborhood back at home base. Meet your neighbors, meet with the invited local bike groups, learn about things happening in your neighborhoods, and, of course, stick around for some awesome bike-themed giveaways.
Don't have a bike? Take advantage of the recently deployed rental bikes all around East Bank! Otherwise, join us at the cookout for a great time.

2-PAC Meeting
Do you know what's happening on your street, in your garage, near your business? It's time for us to uncover the bigger picture.
This month's 2-PAC is for neighbors, business-owners, administrators and others in the 2nd Pct. to get together, look at our common issues and focus on what we are seeing and when and where it's happening.
The original idea of "PAC" was to be a place where people (block club leaders, concerned residents, business owners, others who are concerned about local "something") gathered to meet the MPD, CPS, social workers, and others. Residents shared what we saw on our block and down our street. When several of us reported the same issue (date, time, event, any ID notes like car, clothes, shoes, appearance), it helped focus investigations a LOT.
Fast forward: today, only a few people report incidents to 911/311, 811 or join the 2-PAC meeting. The result? The MPD only hears about a small part of what is happening.
A first step toward rebuilding our city safety net is to restart neighborhood reports. Let's see how far we can make this go again.
We will meet on April 14 in-person and by Zoom. Gather by 6:30 and call to order shortly after.
The in-person meeting is at Monroe Village Community Room, 1900 Central Ave. NE. There's free parking on Central and all cross streets. The Zoom link will be shared closer to the 14th.
You are wanted and welcome. Please join us.
