All,   *This Tuesday there is an important Logan City Council meeting about funding urban trails for Logan*. If approved, the City will get $1.75 to complete 4 miles of trails in the next year. If it doesn’t get funded, it would likely take 10-20 years to do the same. These sections of trail to be completed will tie into existing trails, and provide important connectivity to the system as well as increasing safety.   *Please come if you can to show your support!* It is Tuesday, October 1st, at 290 W. 100 N. ...Continue Reading

Jeff and BPAC, attached is the slighly revised letter that Jeff Gilbert passed around at our last meeting.  I've have spoken with Holly Daines, Russ Akina, and Russ Hollie, plus briefly spoke with Holly again tonight.  It appears the matter will come up for vote at next Tues.

Has anyone stepped up for this? How long is the actual safety instruction? I imagine it wouldn't take up the entire 3 hours. I could be available from 6-7 if nobody else is.

All, I think it would be wonderful if anyone at BPAC who is interested in the bike education side of things would be willing to do this (certified is great but I don’t think required). This is a just a perfect opportunity also for BPAC to have a presence at the Alternative Transportation Week Open Streets Festival. Both working towards the same end….
