PLEASE GO TO THE MEETING BELOW INSTEAD OF RIDING. SARAH LOVETTE WILL HAVE MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF RIDING TO THE MEETING. We are cancelling the Tuesday ride in favor of this meeting. If we don't make a lot of noise about Bike Lanes, we will never have them.
The City of Murfreesboro is planning to widen Rucker Lane from Franklin Road (State Route 96) to the proposed Southwest Loop Road. This project includes a three-lane road with curbs and gutters, sidewalks, and storm drainage. (sic...no mention of bike lane??!!)
An informal meeting has been scheduled for staff members from the City Engineering Department and representative from Wiser Company, LLC, the City's consultant for the project, to be available to review the plans, explain the project, and answer questions. The meeting will be held in the Fellowship Hall at Franklin Road Baptist Church located at 3148 Franklin Road between 4:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 17,2007. Property owners or residents may come by at any time during the above hours.
Sharpsville Tuesday 7/17 Ride Moved to 7/18 Kittrell School
The regular Tue 7/17 ride will be on Wed 7/18 from Kittrell school so we can go to the meeting. I'll look for some more info regarding the projects. There are instances where cyclists have been successfully impacted planning decisions. Chattanooga is one example. It looks like they started in 2000. Most of the info is thru 2003-04.
