The League of American Bicyclists (LAB) will conduct a Bicycle Friendly Community workshop in Roanoke on January 8, 2008. Municipality staff and elected officials from Roanoke and the New River Valley should attend this workshop, to help them work toward achieving the LAB’s Bicycle Friendly Community award. Besides the obvious benefits to cyclists, this award has tremendous PR value for any municipality that earns it. Please contact your local government officials and staff, and urge them to attend this workshop.
Andy Clarke, the Bikeleague’s Executive Director, will conduct the workshop personally. Later that day, Mr. Clarke will travel to Blacksburg, to give a presentation at the Town Council meeting.
The workshop will be held at the Higher Education Center in downtown Roanoke, 9am-1pm on Tuesday, Jan 8. The 9am start allows plenty of travel time for attendees from the New River Valley. Parking is $0.50 per half hour ($5.00 daily maximum) at both the Roanoke City Gainsboro parking garage and the Higher Education Center lot.
Again, please contact your local government officials and staff, and urge them to attend. All are welcome, but space is limited. RSVP to David Harrison of the Blue Ridge Bicycle Club.
