Be Seen and Be Heard: Bike Plan Vote on June 22!

Council Chambers

Cincinnati, OH 45202

Special Meeting of Liveable Communities Committee to decide fate of new bike plan: We need YOU there!

Arrive by 5:50 p.m. to fill out a card if you wish to testify. You will have two minutes to let them know why making this a great bicycling community is important to you!

Cincinnati's new bike plan envisions a 445-mile system of bicycle lanes, routes, and paths that will make it possible for tens of thousands more people to leave their cars behind and use their bicycles for daily transportation and recreation in the city. For the past ten months, hundreds of you have helped develop that plan, by attending public meetings, providing input on-line, or scouting streets with us on your bikes. The plan you helped create can be downloaded here.

Now is the time when we need to come together to ensure that the product of all our efforts is adopted by the City. The seven members of the Council's Liveable Communities Committee will be taking testimony and then voting on the plan at this Special Meeting next week. They need to know that you think it's time that the city took bicycling seriously and set a course for a new future in our city.

Whether you want to testify personally or not, please attend and bring plenty of friends. There is nothing that has the impact of a Chamber-full of enthusiastic supporters of change. If you do wish to testify, let us know and we will send you some guidelines for you to use in preparing your statement.

There will be ample secure bike parking at City Hall if you ride, but please remember to bring your lock!
