Jefferson City, Rolla, Washington U. applying for Bicycle Friendly status - your survey responses requested
Jefferson City and Rolla have recently applied for Bicycle Friendly Community status, while Washington University in St. Louis has applied for Bicycle Friendly University status.
Just the fact that these communities are applying for BFC status is a positive move for Missouri--we are starting to see far more interest in bicycling, walking, and trails from communities large and small, all across Missouri.
If you live or bicycle in Jefferson City or Rolla, you can complete a survey form to give the League and the cities feedback on how they are doing and where they need to go, as far as making their communities more bicycle friendly:
Keep in mind that communities don't need to be perfectly bicycle friendly in order to apply and to be accepted. In fact, just the fact that these communities are appling for BFC and BFU status says a lot--it says that they are taking the time to assess what they have done and what they need to do to improve in the future, to become more bicycle friendly.
Jefferson City has recently taken some very important steps--adopting a regional bicycle and pedestrian plan and installing quite a number of bicycle routes, signage, and bike lanes to complement the city's trail network.
Rolla has--after years of work and delay--finally adopted a citywide Complete Streets Policy that over the next several years will help create a much better city for walking and bicycling.
Washington University has been working for years to become a more sustainable and walk/bike/transit friendly campus. Like every place in Missouri, they have some hurdles to overcome but they are light years ahead of most other university campuses in Missouri in terms of sustainability and support of walking, bicycling, and transit for students, staff, and visitors.
