The friendly folks of Bike Friendly Arlington sent us the following:
Bike Friendly Arlington would like for you to “Bike the Vote” this election season. We’ve posted about where to go for early voting, but we’ve also created a voting guide summarizing the candidates positions regarding the Hike & Bike Plan. The voting guide pulls information from websites such as VoteforArlington.com, the League of Women Voters, and various Star-Telegram articles covering the candidate forums. You can check out our summary of the candidate’s positions regarding bicycling here.
This Saturday we’ll be riding to vote. If you can’t make it early, you can always vote on election day.
Upcoming City Hall Meetings
There are two upcoming city meetings that we want to make you aware of and encourage you to attend. The council committee (Councilmembers Shepard, Bennett, and Wilemon) that is in charge of reviewing the Hike and Bike plan and then recommending changes to the full council will be meeting with staff this Monday (May 9) to discuss changes to the plan. It’s an open meeting, but residents in attendance are not given a chance to speak. You can show support by wearing your yellow “I Support the Plan” shirt or any other yellow shirt. Staff and possibly council members may be available to answer questions afterward. This meeting is important because it will give us an idea about what changes to the plan council intends to make before it goes to a vote.We’ve made an event on Facebook, and you can RSVP to attend by clicking here.
