Title
Bicycle Action Plan (B)
Explanation
The League of American Bicyclists has been awarding Bicycle Friendly Community designations under the Bicycle Friendly Communities Program for a number of years. Initially the designated communities were required to pay for display signs in the gateway areas to cities. The Program now requires interviews within the community and an application process that identifies all of the engineering, education, enforcement, and encouragement efforts made in the community.
This year the City of Gainesville was awarded a "Silver" level Bicycle Friendly Community designation. As such, staff will sign a Bicycle Action Plan listing ten (10) elements continuing the City's Bicycle Friendly Community Program. Many elements of the Action Plan are already components the City's own Bicycle Pedestrian Program.
Fiscal Note
