At last weeks meeting we had a lot of great supporters show up and speak to the Planning & Zoning commission. However, there were also a lot of dissenting opinions from concerned residents and the P&Z commission requested more time to consider the issue before them. They will now have a second public hearing on February 2nd and then vote on that day.
Please click on this link for the slides from Alicia Winkelblech who gave a great presentation what Arlington COULD look like!
We need to have all concerned cyclists from the Arlington area (Okay, all cyclists in the DFW area 🙂 ) to show up on February 2nd to show their support once again.
This is the only way we will get funding to build out the existing trail system.
Please, be a part of making Arlington a better, cyclist friendly city!
At the January 19th Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing, the Commission delayed their votes on the Thoroughfare Development Plan (TDP) Update and the Hike and Bike System Master Plan. The Commission will take written and verbal public comment again at the February 2nd meeting. Please see below for updated public hearing dates for both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. We hope you are able to attend both public hearings and make sure your voice is heard!
