Imagine Addison
Recreation/Exercise - an Imagine Addison idea
Expansion of the trail system in Addison will be great for the town. However, it is usually a small percentage of the population who uses these trails for running and biking. To encourage Addison residents to use these trails, I would like to suggest:
1. Poker Walks - People walk a short course, e.g. 1 mile and collect poker chips/cards at different stations during the course. The town could encourage neighborhoods and businesses to form teams for this event. Below are some links to other poker walks and images:

2. Volksmarch - This event would pair well with Oktoberfest.

I would love to see recycling available to multi-family residential housing.

I would like to see more public art in Addison. Perhaps the town could form partnerships with Brookhaven College art students or the Craft Guild to create art in public places, e.g. Athletic Club, Town Hall, fire stations, elementary school, etc. Outdoor art could also be in private places like the Vitruvian Park development (with their cooperation), e.g. the cinder block wall on the west side of the Savoye Apts.
