Democracy in Action

Everyday Cyclist writer John Speare at last night’s Bicycle Master Plan meeting.

Bicycle democracy to be exact. Last night’s Spokane Bicycle Master Plan at the West Central Community Center was successful and well attended. A hundred or so folks got to see maps of proposed bike infrastructure and long network plans. City Planner Ken Pelton and Bicycle Advisory Board members Bob Lutz and John Speare eagerly fielded questions. WSDOT also presented on state bicycle plans and got an earful from Spokane City Council member Richard Rush, who asked for more state support of bike/ped projects. Councilman Steve Corker was also in attendance. If you haven’t crashed the Bicycle Master Plan party yet there’s still time. Read about it here:

Regional Bike Plan Uncorked

Out There Venture — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 18:12:43 +0000

If you are looking for evidence of progress in all things bicycle related in Spokane County look no further than the Spokane Regional Bike Plan unveiled by the Spokane Regional Transportation Council yesterday.

I’m just starting to make through the document’s 40 some pages but so far it looks thoughtful and comprehensive. Check it out for yourself and give them feedback.

There are also meetings for the City of Spokane Master Bike Plan this week. Check out the meeting time and take a quick survey at the above link.

You could be forgiven for getting all these plans confused. The bottom line is that they are both crucial to the future of cycling in our area. This is a great time to get involved and promote two-wheeled activities in Spokane.
