Lakewood Biking Meeting 10.5.10
Posted: Tue Oct 05, 2010 8:49 pm
Tonight was the first of a couple public meetings to discuss bikes, and Lakewood and how
they work together. This was put on by the City of Lakewood and the Lakewood Planning
Department.
After a short introduction by Planning Director Nate Kelly, Dru Siley too over for the full
room to discuss what the purpose of the meetings were. After mentioning many overlooked
things like the longest round trip bike trip in Lakewood is only 5 miles, and that the
recent abandonment of Lakewood by RTA and their Circulators made the need to look at bikes
and where they go even more important.
After that the room was broken into groups to discuss various ideas. Also in attendance were
Tom Einhouse, Louis Moss from Walk and Roll, Councilman Tom Bullock, and others all
interested in bikes and riding, Matter of fact when asked how many people owned bikes
and how many ride bikes, everyone raised their hands. Hmmmmm
Up the left wall is Kiley best known from The Root Cafe, Troy Bratz, LO Editor Margaret Brinich, Lakewood Planning Director Nathan Kelly, The Scenes Arts Editor Michael Gill, Bike Lakewood's Tim Liston, and John Ekerle.
A good crowd of 50 were there to chart Lakewood's future with bikes.
Dru Siley speaks to the group.
Next meeting in November.
