I guess they'll wait until the streets & developments are all finished before they think about that in the bike plan...

We hosted over 50 attendees at Thursday's meeting at LMRA. Mr. Koski explained the Comprehensive Bicycle Plan, how it ties into the city's transportation plan, and what policies would also be ammended. To have a good size audience was outstanding. Additionally, 9 to 10 bicycles parked in the back of the room- now that was a great touch. Thanks to those who rode over to include the MBBC bicycle club and LMRA Bicycle Club. Now- to get this on the ground... please write or call your district's Council representative and tell them how much you like the plan, how quility of life is important to you, and how real intermodal transportation includes all users. Thanks again, Jim Wilson Kevin,

Please consider contacting your city council representative, or if you're not in FW, tell one of them you frequent FW regularly.

In addition to my riding for exercise I have been exploring & trying to figure the places where I can ride. It didn't take long to see how much better it could be. This is a great plan, truly impressive. A month ago I bought my first bike in 20 years. In addition to my riding for exercise I have been exploring & trying to figure the places where I can ride.

PUSH!!!! As someone who has parked his car two years ago to ride a bike and the TRE and has been limited by a wheelchair for the past two months, we MUST get out the word that a change is coming. Larry Kevin,

It seems like the city has recently taken steps to be a very innovative and progressive city. This makes me want to stay in Fort Worth after I graduate from TCU.
