COMMUNITY MEETINGS PUT WHEELS

IN MOTION ON BICYCLE MASTER PLAN

 

 

Bicycle riders are invited to participate in a new countywide Bicycle Master Plan currently being developed by the Los Angeles County Public Works Department.

 

The Master Plan seeks to expand and connect the county network of bikeways, improve existing County-maintained bicycle facilities, develop and adopt a prioritized list of proposed new bikeway and bicycle projects, and encourage additional bikeway usage.

 

As part of the effort, the Public Works Department is hosting a series of community workshops to explain the Bicycle Master Plan and gather input and comments from current and potential bikeway users.

 

The first series of workshops will begin on February 22, 2010, and end on March 25, 2010. Meetings will be held in Los Angeles, Castaic, Baldwin Park, Topanga, Long Beach, Calabasas, Marina Del Rey and Lancaster. Follow-up workshops will be held later this year.

 

Visit www.lacountybikeplan.org for more information on the Bicycle Master Plan.  For questions, contact County Bikeway Coordinator, Abu Yusuf, at (626) 458-3940 or ayusuf@dpw.lacounty.gov.
