We need your help to build a better network

[Steve Reiter]

Fellow bicyclists: 

As you know, Bike CNY is an advocacy group in Syracuse promoting more bike lanes and marked bike routes in the city in order to encourage more people to use their bike when they commute to work, go on errands, and for other transportation needs.

We have a draft of a network of streets in Syracuse (click here for the map).   We have been told that the city intends to mark South Salina St. (south of Seneca Turnpike in a fashion similar to E. Genesee St.) and Erie Boulevard West to be marked with bike lanes before the end of this year.

As we will be meeting with the Mayor's office early next year to propose specific streets to be marked next year, we are asking for your input.  

We would like those of you who bicycle in the city to tell us what routes you use (and maybe what routes you would never use) and  

what improvements you would like to see. 

So take a moment and send that information by email to John Allen at john....@verizon.net. He will follow up with you.

Don't forget to join us this coming Monday to give us your input personally.  See the bikeCNY.org for meeting specifics... and check out recent posts while you're there.

And thanks for your help.

 Steve
