This link provides a brief tour along with American city planners of The Netherlands bike facilities and benefits.  It's instructional because it speaks directly to changing cultures toward a healthier lifestyle, I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22XM8-YTC98-paul-- Paul C.

BPAC Folks,   Interesting attachment. I looks like the US DOT is encouraging more flexibility in Bike/Ped design standards (see attachment).

I have also been in touch with the company B-cycles and received a lot of positive feedback about the possibility of getting something like this started as a collaborative effort – Aggie Blue Bikes at the University and Logan City.

Great information! Yes, it would be nice to beat Provo, Orem and Ogden to the punch and get our bike share program started first. I have talked to Ben from Salt Lake City and he would be willing to come up and talk to the group and go over the details of the incredibly successful Green Bike Program they have started up down there.

Stephanie, I think the use of the funds is pretty open. My sense is they basically just want to "kickstart" the process. Some of items listed are things we have already done are started. Certainly we could go beyond. The tasks they have outlined as part of "becoming a road respect community" http://roadrespect.utah.gov/partners.php is pretty good in my opinion.  I propose that we use this as our road map. We will discuss how to tackle some of these items at our next BPAC ...Continue Reading

Great! BPAC's role in this is to provide the information for the bullets you listed below? Should we break this up to get the information you will need?
