Board and Commissions need public input

Make sure Fort Collins cyclists' are heard, please plan to attend as many of these public meetings as you possibly can:

Nov. 7 - Economic Advisory Commission 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.– CIC Room in City Hall adjacent to Council Chambers

Nov. 8 - 7:30 a.m.  Downtown Development Authority (DDA)  Home State Bank Meeting Room (Basement) 303 East Mountain Avenue

Nov. 14 - Senior Advisory Board,  1:30 p.m. at the Senior Center (we have a Bike Lunch Talk that same day – I’ll leave at 1 p.m.)
  • Seniors have special needs, concerns and interests for cycling.  Ever
    wonder why the City's Recreation Program offers hiking tours into the
    mountains (for a fee) but no escorted bike tours on the 165 miles of
    bikeways in the City?

  • A recent survey conducted by the city's Natural Resource Sept. showed 1.5 million bicycle visits occur each year to the city's natural areas.  this is more than any other single means of visiting (walking, jogging, hiking, driving, etc.) .
  • Many of the funds for bike trail construction and trail maintenance in our parkscome from the Natural Areas Program.

Dec. 5 Youth Advisory Board, December 5, 7 p.m. at the Youth Activity Center

  • gathers information from local youth, other
    groups, organizations and agencies regarding youth-oriented issues and
