Bentley loudspeakering to the crowd
Attendees and a funky bike
Next stop was #RiverHall, where we talked about #Placemaking & the shift from downtown car awareness to park pedestrian awareness before hitting up the #BowRiverPathways. We also had friend Merv tell us about the great work @youthenroute.bsky.social does!
