Just a last-minute reminder that our Raytown Bicycle Task Force Meeting is tonight (Wed., Nov 19th), 7:00PM, Raytown EMS Building, 10020 East 66th Terrace.

We're meeting with Beau Groceman, Director of Raytown Public Works. So if you've EVER had something you wanted to talk about with the Public Works director, here is your big chance . . .

Those of you who were at the last meeting, with Aaron Bartlett of MARC, know that Aaron gave a VERY good presentation that helped to focus our thinking. He talked about the three Es of bike planning:

Engineering
Enforcement
Education/Advocacy

These are like the 3 legs of a tripod, and without any one of the legs the thing will not stand.

The Public Works dept. has primary responsibility for Engineering. The Police have primary responsibility for Enforcement. And we (as the bicycle task force) have primary responsibility for Education/Advocacy & promotion.

But all three Es have to be on the same wavelength & working towards the same goals. So part of our job is to make that happen.

That is why John has scheduled meetings tonight with Public Works (Engineering) and is planning for a future meeting with the Police Dept (Enforcement).

Hope to see you tonight!

--Brent

Raytown Bike People,

Jagat & I had a very interesting discussion tonight at the Spring Valley Elementary PTA meeting. We talked a little about Safe Routes to School and various such things.

One idea we're going to follow up on is having a regular bike ride starting at the school. Please come and ride with us if you can! The school ride will be slow & sociable--I'm hoping if anyone wants to ride further & faster we could go right after this ride is finished for about an hour.

Here's the info:


Spring Valley Bicycle Fun Ride

Saturday, October 18th, 2003, 3:30PM
Meet in front of Spring Valley Elementary, 8838 E 83rd St, Raytown, MO

* Learn about bike safety
* Practice bicycle handling and safety skills
* Meet others who like to bicycle
* Free bike safety booklet for all kids

This will be an easy and sociable ride, mostly on quiet neighborhood streets in the area. Parents are especially encouraged to come and ride with their children. Plan about 60-90 minutes for the ride and other activities.

Helmets are required.

For more info, or if you would like to borrow a bicycle or helmet for the ride, please call Jagat Khalsa at 358-0491.

Just a reminder that the Public Meeting for the Raytown Bicycle Plan that was scheduled for this coming Thursday, Oct 16th, has been POSTPONED due to a scheduling conflict.


Since we handed out a lot of flyers about the meeting, it probably would be smart to have someone go to city hall that evening and just intercept anyone who might happen to show up. Might be a chance to talk to a few people one-on-one, anyway.

I would do it except that I can't make it back from St. Joseph Thursdays until about 7:30PM (the meeting was scheduled for Thurs @ 7:00PM).

Any volunteers for "Interception duty"?

Just a reminder that the next meeting of the Raytown Bicycle Task Force is Wed, October 1st, 7PM.

Unfortunately the person from Shawnee couldn't come that day. We'll find another time to meet with him. But we do need to meet Wednesday to talk about a couple of things:

1. Route map, getting it tweaked as we want.
2. Plan the public meeting, which we have announced for Thurs, Oct 16, 7PM.
