Fort Worth to hold meetings on improving cycling in the city

by PegNews wire

Come hear about the city’s plans to improve bicycling in Fort Worth.

Four meetings are scheduled in March and April. The same presentation will be made at each meeting, but emphasis will be on the bikeway recommendations in the sector of the city nearest the meeting location.

Residents can give feedback on the recommended projects, programs and policies.

City staff members have spent the past year and a half developing a plan — complete with ideas from public meetings and surveys — to improve conditions for bicyclists and to make bicycling a safe and attractive transportation alternative.

Best practices from around the country, tailored to the unique attributes of Fort Worth, were included. The result is Bike Fort Worth, a comprehensive bicycle transportation plan.

Here are the meeting dates and locations:

East/Southeast Sectors: March 23, 6:30 p.m., East Regional Library, 6301 Bridge St.
North Sector: April 16, 6:30 p.m., Summer Glen Library, 4205 Basswood Blvd.
Central Sector: April 21, 6:30 p.m., Central Library Chappel Meeting Room, 500 W. Third St.
West/Southwest Sectors: April 23, 6:30 p.m., Lockheed Martin Recreation Association River Pavilion, 3400 Bryant Irvin Road
