FABB recognized by Fairfax Board of Supervisors
The Fairfax Board of Supervisors presented FABB with a plaque recognizing our work on the Guide for Reviewing Public Road Design and Bicycling Accommodations for Virginia Bicycling Advocates. Supervisor Hudgins commended us on the quality of the document and thanked us for our advocacy work. She also noted the importance of bicycling as a key part of our transportation system. The plaque reads:Certificate of Recognition presented to Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling for its consultation with the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Fairfax County Department of Transportation to develop, prepare, and promote the Guide for Reviewing Public Road Design and Bicycling Accommodations for Virginia Bicycling Advocates to outline ways bicycling enthusiasts can provide input into the process to design, approve, build, and retrofit roads to ensure accommodations for cylcists.
Fionnuala Quinn, the primary author, Kerie Hitt, editor, and I accepted and Fionnuala said a few remarks. Thanks to Supervisor Hudgins and the Board for this honor.Update: Here's the photo from the presentation ceremony. We rode to the Government Center, Kerie and I on our recumbent tandem, Fionnuala on her hybrid. Despite the cold we managed to arrive in street clothes and looked halfway presentable. You can't see the heavy duty tights I'm wearing or the neoprene socks under my sandals. It was a great ride on a sunny, cold day.
Update 28 Dec 2010: See the Reston Connection article on the presentation: Fairfax Bike Group Receives Board Honor
