STL Bike Master Plan Citizens’ Advisory Committee
YOUR CITY. YOUR VOICE. YOUR BIKE PLAN. A GREAT RIVERS GREENWAY PROJECT.
Great Rivers Greenway is leading an effort along with core partners to prepare a Bicycle Master Plan for City of St. Louis, St. Louis County and St. Charles County. The Bicycle Master Plan will be an implementable plan for on-road facilities to increase the use of bicycles as a mode of transportation. A Citizens’ Advisory Committee (CAC) is being formed to assist GRG with the Bicycle Master Plan.
CAC members should expect to attend 5-7 meetings between March and December 2010. No previous knowledge of Bicycle Master Plans is necessary – your interest is enough. During our meetings, we’ll have discussions about various issues and ask for your opinions, suggestions and comments. Beyond meeting attendance, we will rely on CAC members to act as a bridge between the community and the BMP process, dispersing information and gathering input as needed.
Applications are due by close of business Friday, February 19, 2010.
Goal of the Bicycle Master Plan: A more connected region where more citizens are riding their bikes safely. The Bicycle Master Plan (BMP) is a roadmap to achieving this goal over the next several years.
The plan will be project specific containing:
• specific facility recommendations (such as bike lanes or shared lane signage) for specific roadway segments,
• specific priorities for implementation in the short, intermediate, and long term timeframes, and
• policy recommendations that can be adopted by public entities to support the goals of the plan.
Master Plan Coverage Area: The plan will cover St. Louis City and County, as well as St. Charles County. The master plan will be coordinated with existing bicycle plans and bicycle and walking plans developed by communities in cooperation with Trailnet.
