Lynnwood Nonmotorized Plans (peds
and bikes) - Public Comment Period
Make Cycling better in Lynnwood
Over the past year
the City of Lynnwood
has been developing a "City
Wide" nonmotorized plan
(pedestrian
and bike) known as our
skeleton systems.
The skeleton systems will
provide a framework of sidewalks, walkways, and bikeways to
allow
people to travel between
most homes, schools, businesses throughout the City without
using their cars.
We have developed draft plans
and have prioritized the missing links (see link below for
more info).
We are now in our public
comment period.
Please review the information and let me know if you have
any comments.
Make cycling better in Lynnwood
We will consolidate all the
comments by late summer/early fall and finalize for Council
adoption in the fall of
2009.
Public open houses will be held
at:
-

June 17th, 5:00-8:00 pm

Looking for a Great Weekend Bike Event?
Dear Fellow Cyclists,
For yourselves and others looking for a great weekend bike event,
consider the
Ride Around Puget Sound Aug. 22-23.
It's a "boutique" ride
designed to be big enough for some company, but small enough to
have
great food (calzones, berry parfaits, homemade cookies) and no lines for
the port-a-potties.
We hope to attract 500 riders this year to do our challenging 170 mile
route, which starts
and ends in Tacoma. You diehards can do it in one
day,
but it is HILLY (9,000 feet elevation gain - like RAMROD only in
smaller pieces).
Did I mention that BIKES Club of Snohomish County is one of the event
sponsors,
and that 100% of the proceeds benefit the Bicycle Alliance of
Washington,
our statewide advocacy organization?
And, if you don't want to ride, BIKES needs volunteers to
help at our reststop in Allyn (near Belfair) on Saturday.

Besides saving money the
more important thing is being "green".
The

Ready to ride, but the rides are too fast or slow?
Either lead a ride or suggest one!
Send me an idea for
a ride and I'll try and find a ride leader to lead it
