Today the City of Arlington officially passed the Hike and Bike plan!
A huge ‘Thank You’ goes out to all of the folks that supported this effort and we definitely want to give MAJOR kudos to the folks from Bike Friendly Arlington. These folks worked tirelessly rounding up support for the plan and their lobbying of City Council members was vital in getting this plan passed.
Thank you also to District 2 Councilwoman Sheri Capehart, District 4 Councilwoman Kathryn Wilemon, District 5 Councilwoman Lana Wolff, District 6 Councilman Robert Shepard and District 7 Councilman Jimmy Bennett who voted for this plan.
While it is not the ‘ideal’ plan, it is a ‘great’ first step and a major victory for ALL citizens of Arlington.
