Workshop and Bike Tour are Next Steps in Evanston Bike Plan Update

The updated Bike Plan will guide planning, development, education, awareness, and management of existing and future bicycle infrastructure improvements and multi-modal connections within the City. The Plan will identify existing barriers, potential future bike   infrastructure opportunities, as well as upgrades or improvements to existing routes, lanes, and paths, including signage. It will utilize the most current  bicycle travel research, lessons learned, and best practices for mobility, safety, education, parking, and storage to encourage all bicycle travel including commuter bicycle travel to and from transit facilities, employment centers, shopping centers, recreational areas, and learning institutions  using the existing street and parks network. Improving connectivity to the adjacent communities of Chicago, Skokie, and Wilmette will be considered in an effort to enhance overall bicycle mobility and accessibility.

Those unable to attend the workshop are invited to submit their comments online at the Bike Survey at http://surveymonkey.com/s/bikeplan or by calling (847) 448-4311.
