New B-Cycle Station (Ribbon Cutting June 8) Shorewood-Heights “Block” Party (June 7) Food Carts and Live Music (June 8)

The Village recently contracted with B-Cycle to have an eight-station electric bike facility installed by the Public Works building near the corner of Shorewood Blvd and Topping Rd. There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, June 8 at 10:00 am.
 
B-Cycle is a company that provides electric bicycles that individuals can pay to use. This effort started last year, after a resident, who wished to remain an anonymous donor, approached the Village offering to fund the installation cost and half of the first five years of the maintenance contract for a B-Cycle station in the Village. After reviewing and discussing different locations with B-Cycle staff, the current location was selected as the most appropriate for the station.
 
The remaining costs for the five-year contract are being covered by generous donations from UW Health and Chas Martin of Sprinkman Real Estate. The Village is also offering advertisement space on the two sets of two bikes to help offset future costs of maintaining and growing this program in the Village.
 
This effort, funded without taxpayer dollars, is in line with the Village’s efforts on environmental sustainability. The bikes are even charged by a solar-powered battery! We invite residents to come out for the official ribbon cutting on June 8 at 10:00 am at the station.

Shorewood Summer Nights are Here! Join your friends and fellow Shorewoodians on June 8 and every following Thursday through July 27 from 5:00-7:00 pm this summer for dinner prepared by local area food cart vendors. The festivities will be in front of the Heiden Haus. Live music entertainment or family fun sporting activities will also be provided to keep the evening exciting!
 
With the generous support of the Shorewood Hills League, our first Thursday event will feature live music performed by Lost Wax Process. Live music nights will end about 8:00 pm and we would like to invite local young musicians to warm up our audience with their musical talent. Those interested should prepare 10 to 20 minutes of material and contact Joel Fields, [email protected], to reserve a spot to perform. The recreation committee would also like to recruit some young artists to create band posters for the evening performers. Artists should contact Ty Cashen, [email protected], to join the artful collaboration.
 
Our food vendors scheduled for the first Thursday will be Jason’s Jerk Tacos, Jolly Frog, Caracas Empanadas and Kona Ice. The food carts visiting each week will rotate and you won’t want to miss the night out to catch up with other village residents and try a new entree. Bring a blanket or a few chairs and let the Summer night fun begin!
