Burke-Springfield area Bike Plan meeting Tuesday

Cyclists in the Burke-Springfield area are invited to hear about the county Bicycle Master Plan and how they can help to improve bicycling conditions in the county. The Burke-Springfield area meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 24 starting at 5:30 p.m. at the West Springfield Government Center, 6140 Rolling Road, Springfield, VA.

A presentation on the planning process will be given after which cyclists will be able to mark up maps and leave comments about what is needed to make Fairfax more bicycle-friendly. Besides indicating possible bike routes, cyclists can discuss the need for better bike parking, better bicycle education opportunities for adults and kids, better enforcement, and ways to encourage more people to take short trips by bike.

One reason more people don't use bikes for transportation is the poor condition of our bicycle infrastructure. If you care about having a connected bicycle network, come to the meeting let your voice be heard.
