In preparation for the World Day of Remembrance, Local Motion and VPOP will be painting signs bearing the names of those killed in road crashes while biking, walking, and rolling this year. We will also be painting six pairs of ghost shoes, spray painting them white to represent the six people killed while walking. They will be added to the ghost bike for Shiloh Skalka.

We will provide all of the materials. Come make this heavy task a little lighter with good company.

5-7 PM, Wednesday, November 11
Local Motion Trailside Center
1 Steele St, Burlington

Local Motion will be hosting a press conference to honor those that lost their lives to traffic violence in Vermont over the past year. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The press conference will take place in front of Shiloh's ghost bike (in memory of Shiloh Skalka), where additional ghost bikes and shoes will be placed in honor of all who were killed in road traffic violence this year in Vermont. This display will be left temporarily for the community to visit.

Press conference takes place at 3 PM, November 13th, directly adjacent to 645 Pine St (near the intersection with Locust St).

Speaker line up includes:

• Amy Cohen, Founder & President of Families for Safe Streets, Sammy's mom (12/8/00-10/8/13)
• Jonathan Farrell, Executive Director of COTS
• Christian Skalka, father of Shiloh Skalka
• Christina Erickson, Executive Director of Local Motion
