Here are some ways you can celebrate:
ACTION ALERTS
NATIONAL BICYCLING STRATEGYThe House Congressional Resolution on Bicycling (H.Con.Res. 305), introduced in February, calls on the United States Congress to adopt a national bicycling strategy to fully realize the incredible benefits of getting more people bicycling, more safely, more often. There is a "sense of Congress "that complete streets policies are essential to ensure wise use of considerable Federal investment in transportation infrastructure, and that expanded funding for bicycling and walking programs is desirable and appropriate. This is a perfect opportunity to contact your Congressional Representatives to thank those that have signed onto the Resolution and urge those that have not to so. A good showing for the Resolution is essential as this would serve as the first ever comprehensive bicycling policy statement and would serve as an important policy statement guide for the next transportation reauthorization which begins next year (2009). As part of National Bike Month please take a moment to Contact your Congressional Member to urge them to support HCONRES305. Take Action! Click here to send letter to your representative EXPO BIKEWAY The Exposition light rail line was approved with a stipulation that it include a parallel bikeway. We've now learned that the Expo Construction Authority has decided it can live with a half-mile gap in the bikeway between Palms Blvd. and Northvale Rd. This would require cyclists to find a different route on adjacent streets that includes a steep hill. There is a possible alternative that would use a combination of on-street bike lanes, a small stretch of unused Caltrans right-of-way and an easement over a small strip of unused private land. This would honor the provision for a parallel bikeway on this important project. A viable, level route needs to be found. Tell the planners they need to include a bikeway alternative in their environmental documents!
