Support Bike Fort Worth Texas

DateFriday, February 5, 2010
PLEASE HELP US SUPPORT BIKE FORT WORTH
Please attend this important meeting in support of BIKE FORT WORTH!

What is BIKE FORT WORTH?


Bike Fort Worth is the City's comprehensive bicycle transportation plan for developing a friendlier bicycle environment. Recommendations for supportive policies, programs and facilities are included to increase bicycle transportation within the City of Fort Worth.

The City has identified three goals to benchmark the success of the plan:

* Triple the number of bicycle commuters
* Decrease bicyclist related crashes by 10 percent
* Attain official designation as a Bicycle Friendly Community through the League of American Bicyclists.

Implementation of the Bike Fort Worth plan will promote bicycling as a safe and attractive transportation alternative. A bicycle transportation network will improve livability in Fort Worth by providing an alternative travel option to residents of the City and improved access to other modes of transit. 

Bike Fort Worth Presentation to Council:
Date: 9 February 2010 (a Tuesday)
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Fort Worth City Hall, 1000 Throckmorton Street, Fort Worth
Room: 2nd floor, Council Chambers
See You There!
BIKE FORT WORTH
to be Presented to Fort Worth City Council
9th of February 2010, 7:00pm, at Fort Worth City Hall

The City of Fort Worth will be requesting (recommended by city staff) the adoption of the
Bike Fort Worth plan (city's 1st ever bicycle transportation plan) by the Fort Worth City Council.
Your attendance at this public meeting is CRITICAL! Numbers matter, you'll make a difference!!
No, you do not need to be a FW Resident- you ride, shop, and work there... be there.

From FW City Staff:
Bike Fort Worth is the City's guide for developing a bicycle friendly environment complete with facilities, programs,
and policies; ultimately, assisting residents by providing a safe and attractive alternative mode of transportation.
Please join us to support adoption of this plan if you are able. 

This plan (planned trails, lanes, routes, funding, policies) has been in work for over a year.
FW City Staff has graciously included us in all phases of planning process.
It is time to get this adopted.

It is very likely City Council will adopt this plan; however,
your attendance will stress public support and go a long way to ensuring timely implementation.
Public Representatives need to see Public Support for this Bicycle Plan.
See you there, invite and bring a friend- or two!

PLEASE ATTEND THIS VERY IMPORTANT MEETING!




Be There!

Rain and cold Texas winter

DateFriday, January 29, 2010

I am still stuck inside due to weather . I hate cold and wet weather not sure how anyone lives in a place it stays like this more than a few days a year . Most of the time north texas is sunny and hot or hotter . And that is the weather I love . My garden is frozen the trails are muddy so hear i sit on the couch beading a new costume . It is a green snake pattern looks like an anaconda snake print . I have show booked tomorrow night to dance with my new snake but due to this cold weather not sure the client is still having it . More latter back to beading and praying to the gods for sun !

James and good news 

DateSaturday, January 16, 2010

It has been about a year and 1/2 since we found out James has bladder cancer and began treatment with traditional western medicine and also with an herbalist . James had a cysto yesterday that is when the doctor uses a camera to look inside the bladder , we got great news no new tumors and looks like the old one has stayed away also . I think we have had such good results due to a big diet change and use of many herbs . More rest and exercise . The vita-mix smoothie I make him every morning has so much good green food and the broccoli sprouts have made all the difference in his over all health . This year is on the way to wonderful very fast . If I could get some time out in the sun on my bike I will just be astatic  .
