This report demonstrates the growing popularity of bikesharing in WNY and was The SMI and Reddy teams took a group ride to created with the intent to thank our riders, to inform and engage with our community, as the Outer Harbor during golden hour on a late summer’s night, something we do often to bond. well as to recognize our partners that help make everything we do possible. Partnering with Independent Health again in 2020 helped us to elevate the program to more of the community at a time when it was really needed. Together with Independent Health, we are focused on fi nding ways for our communities to get and stay healthy and connected in 2021. Biking is a great way to prioritize your health and well-being. After enduring a challenging year, our team appreciates self-care and well-being more than we ever have. A 222% increase in riders tells us that a rapidly increasing number of Western New Yorkers would agree that Reddy bikes are fun and support overall wellness. As champions of biking, we know that bikes also serve a holistic good – our collective public health, a greener environment, they support small business, and they make people happy. Scientists, health experts, urban planners, small businesses and community associations all agree – biking can be transformational.

  • A Basic Guide to ABCD Community Organizing
    A Basic Guide to ABCD Community Organizing By John McKnight Co-Director, Asset Based Community Development Institute Northwestern University 1 The Culture of Community Every community creates its own culture – the way the community members learn, through time, how to survive and prosper in a particular place. Displaced people lose their culture. But it is also possible to lose a community culture even though you stay in a place. Many people have lost their culture, even though they live in a neighborhood. They occupy an apartment and don't know the people who live around them. Or they may live in a house but their neighbors are strangers to whom they give a smiling nod. These people are not really neighbors in a neighborhood. They are merely residents occupying a building. They have lost their way. They are lonely people depending on malls, schools and cars for survival and the tenuous appearance of prosperity. How would these lonely people go about creating another way of life, so that they could say, “In this place, we have Our Way? Kin, friends, and neighbors surround us. We are a group of families who have a special kind of relationship. We feel productive, cared for and safe. We have found Our Way.” Our Way is the culture of community, and something you cannot buy. Nor, can it be created by programs. A culture is the creation of people who are seriously related to each other. It takes time because serious relationships are based upon trust, and trust grows from the experience of being together in ways that make a difference in our lives.

  • Chicago Stories of Community Building
    ABOUT THIS REPORT In late summer, 2005, Co-Director Jody Kretzmann and researcher Susan Rans from the Asset-Based Community Development Institute at Northwestern University agreed to visit several Chicago Branch Libraries to investigate the role of public libraries in neighborhoods. This report illustrates a variety of ways local libraries contribute to community development, looking at multiple layers of involvement: individual, voluntary associations, institutions, economy, place, and, importantly, the stories they tell about themselves in their commu- nities. The Urban Libraries Council hopes this report will spark other communities to investigate the catalytic work of libraries in their communities, to understand the rich contributions being made, and to tell their stories.
