The City decided to not installbike lanesanda sidewalkonpartof the roadproject.The TIB has a Complete Streets policy that requiresaccommodationsforpedestrians,bikesandbusses. In conjunction with Complete Streets, there areseveral bike-related bills being considered down inOlympia.

Several TWBC members attended TransportationAdvocacyDayinOlympiainFebruary.ForinformationonHB1700andotherbills,lookuptheBicycleAllianceof Washington website.

And guess what? This action creates JOBS!
Want to help? Badger your congressional representative to co-sign theActiveCommunityTransportationAct(HR4722)whichwasintroducedbyRep.Blemenaurer(Ore) in March 2010. Currently, Washington StateRepresentatives Jim McDermott and Jay Enslee areco-signees. We can also act to e-mail and call ourrepresentativesandmembersof theTransportation&InfrastructureCommittee and insist that they includeActiveTransportationprograminthereauthorization.
