Fwd: Your Path to Austin | Open House & Event Schedule

[Stanton Truxillo]

Hi All,

Sorry for the mass email, but the City has asked the cycling community for our input and suggestions on the developing bicycle master plan.  This is a chance for YOUR voice to be heard.

The difference between this plan and that of 2009 is that the City is now focusing not just on the 1-2% who ride now, but on the 30-40% of the population who say they are interested in cycling but concerned about safety.  That requires a different kind of facility than just a painted bike lane on the street.

Please add your opinions to the survey.

Thanks!

I rode the Southern Walnut Creek trail last weekend.  Very nice even if it does not connect to much yet.  I hope they can build more trails like that.  Will be nice to be able to ride all the way to Manor.

 

Saw this snake along the trail.
