It’s time to update the City’s bikeway masterplan and we need your help! This year though, in order to be consistent with the current funding opportunities available, the City has decided to prepare its first ever Active Transportation Plan.

An Active Transportation Plan moves beyond just bicycle amenities, and strives to plan for and promote all forms of Active Transportation. Active Transportation includes everything from walking and bicycling, to wheelchairs, mobility scooters and more.

In order for the City of Visalia’s ATP to truly reflect the needs of the community, we are asking that you provide feedback and ideas on ways to improve existing facilities, and plan for future projects.

The City of Visalia and our consultant, Quad Knopf, will be holding two public workshops to obtain your input. Join us Thursday, May 19^th from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Mt. Whitney High School Cafeteria or on Saturday July 9^th from 9:30 AM – 11:30 a.m. at the Manuel F. Hernandez Community Center Game Room.

With scores of number one hits, millions of albums sold and sold out tours across the nation, country music superstars The Oak Ridge Boys are bringing their world famous sound to the Visalia Convention Center Monday, June 27th at 8 p.m.

Concert tickets are now on sale online at www.visaliatix.com or at the Visalia Convention Center Box Office.

Tickets will go fast, as the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame, plan to rock the audience with hits such as “Elvira”, “Bobbie Sue” and “American Made”. With too many Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards to count, The Oak Ridge Boys are bringing a night full of entertainment, packed with energy, right here to Visalia.
