Would you like to serve on the Mayor’s Bicycle Advisory Council?

It’s a two-year term, and the present Community Representative’s term will end with the June meeting, and a new set of representatives will begin with the September meeting.

It would be for 2 years, the meetings are held every three month, so that means only 8 meetings.  The meetings are usually from 3:00-4:30 PM at City Hall, on the 2nd Wednesday of the four months each year.

Information on the councils is available at: http://chicagocompletestreets.org/getinvolved/mayors-advisory-counc...

The participants in the meetings are at: http://chicagocompletestreets.org/getinvolved/mayors-advisory-counc...

Records of past meetings are at http://www.bike2015plan.org/mbac/ and the agenda and minutes of past meetings are posted there, to give you some idea of what goes on.

The five “Community Representatives” are representatives from the south, south-west, west, north, and north-west sides; there are no rigid boundaries, this just a general layout.  Representatives should live in the city, and should not be employees of the city.

If you’re interested and have question or want to apply contact Charlie Short, charlie.short@chicagocompletestreets.org.  In your email include your name, address, phone and email and a short description of your involvement in bicycling and what you could bring to the Council.
