‘Cities for Cycling’ could have huge impact on bikeway innovation Posted by Jonathan
For we cycling advocates , how many take advantage of cycling news from the League of American Bicyclists. Our national lobbying organization... And our first line of defense to protect our cycling rights..Worth a contribution.?.
Not just national news , but links to regional cycling advocacy... Below is information about the cycling national plan , which might make America far more bike friendly..
.
.
.
An exciting new coalition of America’s largest cities has joined together to push for more innovative bikeway design guidelines. Cities for Cycling, which will formally launch in Washington D.C. on December 8th, will look to break the shackles of rigid federal roadway design guidelines that have long had a stifling impact on bikeway innovation in the United States.
The new coalition was the brainchild of two Portlanders — former city bike coordinator and now planning consultant Mia Birk and current City of Portland Traffic Engineer Rob Burchfield. The impetus comes from a realization that current federal design guidelines for bikeway development are outdated and incomplete.
Greetings!
