Opportunities Approaching for Cyclists to Voice Their Opinions

By Daniel Mottola, March 14, 2008, 9:54am, Newsdesk

Hey pedal pushers: Have you ever found yourself saying, “This road needs a gosh-darn bike lane” or “Golly, I wish parking wasn’t allowed in this confounded bike lane!”

Well, your voice shall be heard.

The city of Austin Public Works Department’s Bike and Pedestrian division is kicking off the first major update to the city’s Bicycle Master Plan in 10 years and wants your input at one of four upcoming public meetings around town. The plan originally envisioned a world-class bicycling infrastructure and sought to lay the groundwork to make Austin a bike transportation mecca. But thanks to wavering political and financial support, not all of the bike plan’s recommended projects materialized.

Only lately has a re-energized bike program begun to pick up the pace. Austin has grown and changed a lot since 1998, and a new bike plan is needed to reflect that. For more information, and for an electronic version of the Austin bike map, see www.ci.austin.tx.us/bicycle or email [email protected].
