Next Bike Planning Meeting Set For November 17
The Bicycle Network Plan Community Workshop #2 will be held on Wednesday, November 17,2010 from 6:30-8:00 PM in the Woman’s Club Pavilion at Lakewood Park. This workshop is hosted by the City of Lakewood’s Department of Planning and Development.
The goal of the bike planning effort is to improve the bicycling environment in Lakewood by gathering resident input and ideas and incorporating them into a comprehensive plan that addresses five focus areas. The 5 E’s, Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Encouragement and Evaluation, will shape a plan that not only recommends physical improvements but also helps improve city policies, identify possible funding opportunities and increase overall public awareness of the rules and responsibilities for both motorists and bicyclists.
Building on the great turn out at the October 5th workshop, Planning staff has continued to reach out to the community through surveys, an online map and field work in an effort to clearly understand the needs and habits of Lakewood’s large bicycling population. The first on-line survey gathered basic information about riders and frequently used roadways and had more than two hundred responses.
A new survey focusing on the needs of Children Biking and Walking to School can be accessed by clicking here. If you are the parent, guardian or caregiver of a child from kindergarten to twelfth grade, please take a minute to fill out this brief survey.
At the November 17th workshop, the Planning staff will report on the findings to date and continue this important community conversation. For more information contact Planning and Development at 216.529.6630 or planning@lakewoodoh.net.
