3E Workshop

6pm — 8pm, Wednesday Feb 3

City Hall, Room 115

Please join us for this important meeting to help write the Enforcement, Education,and Encouragement components of the Cincinnati Bike Plan.

During the workshop we will learn about best practices from other cities, determine what is currently being done in Cincinnati, and identify gaps.  We’ll finish up by developing specific action strategies to implement the programs that we as a group deem most important.

Below are some of the suggestions collected at the Bike Plan Open House last October:

• Motorist education campaign — billboards, public service announcements on radio/tv, literature in water bills etc
• Develop bicycle safety curricula for schools
• Offer small group classes on how to ride in traffic, with groceries, with children, etc
• Establish more bike coops citywide
• Organize more mass rides across all skill levels, especially for inexperienced cyclists
• Promote more bike parking and changing facilities at worksites and other destinations
• Promote biking to large events (riverfront/university), organize routes, offer valet bike parking
• Limit motor vehicle use on select streets during select time periods, to allow for full use by cyclists (ciclovia street festivals)
• Bicycle registration
• Incident reporting systems

I hope to see you on the 3^rd. If you plan on attending, please RSVP to melissa.mcvay[at]cincinnati-oh.gov. Free parking (for cars) is available in the lot across the street from City Hall, at the NW corner of 9^th and Plum. Bikes may be locked up in the courtyard, or brought inside the building.
