“Everybody has a right to be safe,” he said. “If we only design streets to fit a motor vehicle, then we’re limiting so much.”
– an advocacy group that aims to promote and create active transportation routes in the city.
“The social impact is so exciting. You get to stop and talk to people. When you’re in a motor vehicle, you just don’t have the same opportunities,” he added. “It makes you feel more a part of the community. When you feel more a part of something, you’re going to treat it with more respect, you’re going to treat it with more dignity. I think it just passes down through generations.
SAFE Summerside has drafted its own version of just such a network, which Trenholm said will be finalized and presented to city council in the spring. “It’s great. The child is 100 per cent in control. It’s really fun and interactive,” said Trenholm. “I pretty much have laryngitis after it’s all over because I’m so excited and animated. Every day in my life, I could do that.”
CWAC is a Canada-wide organization that aims to reduce social isolation. Using a special two-person bicycle called a trishaw, a volunteer can take someone, such as a senior, out into the community.Although the idea is targeted toward seniors in manors, they are not the only ones who see a benefit to the project.
Currently, Trenholm and SAFE Summerside are working to secure funding for six trishaws, which he said cost $12,000 after tax.
