Georgia Department of Transportation is having a Statewide Transportation Improvement Program regional meeting today at the Milledgeville Mall. The meeting is open to the public, and will include details about federally funded infrastructure improvement projects in our area from 2012-2015. The meeting is scheduled from 4-7pm. This is a great chance for local cyclists to be heard. I encourage all of you to attend, if possible.
suggestions of how to make the most of the opportunity to speak up for bicyclists' concerns:
Georgia Bikes! #1 show up!
Georgia Bikes! #2 review the projects, and provide courteous feedback on how they could be improved to acommodate cyclists
Georgia Bikes! # 3 be prepared to suggest alternatives, e.g. wide, smooth shoulders (w/ bike friendly rumble strips, of course!) instead of bike lanes. Get ideas for alternatives and best practices here: http://georgiabikes.org/index.php/resources/39-education/129-bicycle-facility-design
Georgia Bikes! # 4 say "Thank you" and follow up!
