Stand up for bicycle parking
On Feb. 5 at 11:00 am, City Hall council chamber 26th floor, the City Planning Commission will be discussing the new development code. They will be discussing bicycle parking—long-term and short-term, and whether to include bicycles, pedestrians and transit in traffic analysis that is routine for motorized vehicles. We need as many people as possible to show up to support these issues.
Deb Ridgway, our KCMO bicycle/pedestrian coordinator, will be speaking in support of bicycle parking and bicycle, pedestrian, transit traffic analysis. Let’s Go KC will have speakers. The development community will be there to argue against it. We want the city to see that the public supports bike/ped issues but the public needs to show up.
I spoke to several of you in the last week about coming to this meeting so I hope you will. If you live in Kansas, you can still come because you ride, walk and spend money in KCMO. You do not have to speak but we will point out how many people are there to support bicycle/pedestrian issues. You can speak if you want—it’s a public meeting. If you have questions please contact me.
Thanks so much.
