ALBANY PARK — A paleta crawl and park-to-park family bike ride are just of the few events designed to get folks moving in Albany Park this summer.

Go Albany Park, announced in January, is now underway and will run through Sept. 30. The goal of the program, a collaboration between the Chicago Department of Transportation and the Active Transportation Alliance, is to encourage residents to walk, bike and take public transportation more frequently.

Go Albany Park is designed to showcase things to do in Albany Park, and how to get there via walking, biking or public transportation. [Facebook/Go Albany Park]

Ambassadors Lizbeth Marin and Zach Auger, both students at North Park University, will be leading the charge, organizing activities and distributing "Go Kits" full of resources like bike maps, walking guides and information on car-share services.

Neighbors can request a free customized Go Kit online. The Go Albany Park website, available in English and Spanish, contains additional tips and information, broken out by chosen mode of transportation.
