City of Los Angeles Bicycle Master Plan Update

Public Meetings to be Held February and March
2008 at Four Neighborhood Locations

Los Angeles (January 23, 2008)  -  The City of Los Angeles will be holding a series of public workshops to discuss the Bicycle Master Plan Update, during the months of February and March 2008.

City of Los Angeles Bicycle Plan provides a guide to develop a Citywide bicycle transportation system.  The intent of the Bicycle Plan is to expand bicycle usage through further development of bicycle riding facilities, improvement of existing facilities, and creation of bicycle support programs.  Ideally, the bicycle network will increase bicycle usage in place of automobiles.

By increasing the number of cyclists who use the bicycle for transportation, traffic congestion may be reduced and air quality improved.  In addition, bicyclists can experience health benefits through increased activity.

As part of the update for the Bicycle Master Plan, the City is inviting the public to attend a workshop.  Workshops are scheduled throughout Los Angeles, at four (4) neighborhood locations, during the months of February and March 2008.

I think that is the day I arbitrarily chose as the BRW anniversary also CRANKMOB.

And I think that's also my birthday.

I will bring a group from Westwood.  Have you considered posting this on MRidazz and making a ride out of it, even if it does end up being an extremely short one?   Hmm, maybe we can have a spontaneous ride _after_ the Bike Plan meeting...
