A Chance to be Heard

This was forwarded to us by local bicycle advocate Bradley Bleck who with others in the community work tirelessly to improve bicycle safety and accessibility in the region.  This sounds like a legitimate effort to reach-out and gather input from the cycling community on February 2.

Dear Bradley, On Wednesday, February 2, the Spokane Regional Health District will be hosting a moderated forum to collect information on how we can decrease fatalities, injuries, threats, and uncivil behavior between cyclists and motorists. But we can't do it without your help, so please join us and share your valuable knowledge and experiences with the community. Wednesday's forum is part of Spokane's first comprehensive education campaign entitled, "Spokane Moves Safely", which is aimed at increasing safety through effectively sharing the road among motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians.  What: Information-gathering forum hosted by the Spokane Regional Health District Who: Stakeholders concerned about bicycle, pedestrian, and motorist safety When: Wednesday, February 3, 5:30pm to 7pm (food provided) Where: Spokane Regional Heath District auditorium (1101 W. College Ave) Wednesday's forum is part of Spokane's first comprehensive education campaign entitled, "Spokane Moves Safely", which is aimed at increasing safety through effectively sharing the road among motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. It is funded by a grant from the Spokane Regional Transportation Council. Please join us! Your voice will be invaluable in helping to form safe and active transportation messages for the Spokane community. To RSVP, email Nancy Hawley at nhawley@spokanecounty.org. Thank you for your continued commitment to the safety of all roadway users. Sincerely, David Hiller Advocacy Director Cascade Bicycle Club
