Re:

Proposed Approach tn Regional Coordination of Bicycling

Initfatfves

This report proposes that lhe Transportation Committee create a subcommittee of
municipal elected representatives to pursue the promotion of bicycling initiatives

proposed in Creating Our Future.

Creating Our Future Action 17 says "Douhle Ihe number of bicycle commuters by
1995 through promoting n regional cycling network in cooperation wi(h
municipalities, preparing a regional map of commuter and recreational cycling
routes, working with H,C, Transit lo facilitate multi-modal travel, and encouraging
municipalities lo adopt developmen( standards that accommodate lhe needs ol

cyclists."

Director Gorclon Price IJns convened a meeting ol the proposed l-legional Bicycle
Task Force lo pursue this objective. In a preliminary meeting, lhe Task Force has
identified a need to make contact with municipalities and a wide range of
cycling
groups to develop an overall approach to the implementation ol bicycling
improvements in the region. Designation of the Task Force as a subcommittee of
Ihe Transportation Commit!ee would enable the Task l=orce to receive
the relatively
small amount of financial and slalf.support necessary lo do this work.
