Bicycle Commuting Indianapolis

Want to help shape the future of transportation in Central Indiana and make sure the needs of bicyclists are met? Here’s you chance!

For the next several weeks (through March 25, 2010), IndyConnect is holding public meetings to gather input and support for a bold transportation plan. The visionary plan calls for increased investment in mass transit, road improvements and bicycle and pedestrian pathways to address the transportation needs of the area.

Suggested Talking Points supporting bicycling in the plan:

Incorporate the SustainIndy BikeWays Plan within the plan (200-mile bike lane plan for Marion County) and show how the transit stops will connect with the bike lane plan
Bicycle parking at every transit stop – long-term (bicycle lockers) and short term (bicycle racks) are both needed.
Allow bikes on transit (light rail)

If you can’t make the public meetings, public meeting comment forms will be available online.

Visit IndyConnect.org for more info, a schedule of upcoming meetings and opportunity to comment online.
