Hey cyclists,
Get off your lazy asses and help out with a good cause for a few hours on an evening between Sept. 11-13 from 5-7pm.
The Bozeman Area Bike Advisory Board (BABAB) is organizing Bozeman's 2nd annual city-wide bicycle count on Sept 11-13 from 5 to 7 pm. We are using standard methods from the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation project
http://bikepeddocumentation.org/
Over 4700 cyclists were counted at twelve locations in September 2011. We added three new locations for 2012.
We want to invite you to participate in the 2012 count. Minimum commitment time is two hours. The volunteer signup is available at

2012 Bozeman City Bicycle Count
As
a member of the Bozeman Area Bicycle Advisory Board (BABAB), I want to
share two upcoming events with you and ask that you pass these along to
other City and County leaders/engineers/planners.
1. BABAB is organizing Bozeman’s 2nd annual city-wide bicycle count on Sept 11-13 from 5 to 7 pm. We are using standard methods from the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation project http://bikepeddocumentation.
2. There is a free 90 minute webinar on bikeway design on September 5th.
I want to encourage city/county planners and engineers to
participate. This webinar features Bozeman’s very own Joe Gilpin of
Alta Planning and Design, a nationally recognized expert in the
bike/pedestrian planning field. Joe has graciously offered
to do a follow up talk in person to expand on the webinar content and
discuss local issues and ideas for how this relates to the Bozeman
area. We would have to schedule a date and time for the follow-up. Let
me know if WTI can facilitate a follow up meeting. We have a nice
meeting space and would be happy to host a meeting. Details below:
This
webinar was originally scheduled for July 11, 2012. The date has been
changed to September 5, 2012. NACTO's Urban Bikeway Design Guide has
quickly emerged as the preeminent resource for designing safe, protected
bikeways in cities across the United States. NACTO will release the
second edition of the guide in the fall, with updated graphic profiles
for all of its bicycle facilities, a new subsection on bicycle boulevard
planning and design, and a survey of materials used for green color in
bikeways. The guide continues to build upon the fast-changing state of
the practice at the local level; it responds to and accelerates
innovative street design and practice around the nation.
Join
APBP and NACTO for a free, 90-minute webinar on the second edition of
the Bikeway Design Guide. This training offers a unique opportunity to
learn directly from some of the cities that compiled the guide. Attend
this webinar to gain a better understanding of the guide's contents,
hear how to use and implement these designs, and find out what NACTO
envisions as the next steps to adopt and deploy these tools and design
guidelines. Presenters: Roger Geller, Bicycle Coordinator, Portland
Bureau of Transportation; Joe Gilpin, Senior Planner, Alta Planning +
Design; David Vega-Barachowitz, Sustainable Initiatives Program Manager,
National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO). APBP
has applied for 1.5 Certification Maintenance credits and will offer a
certificate of attendance. http://www.apbp.org/events/
Please share this email with others who may have an interest.
Thank you,
