Houston-area cyclists-
This Thursday, February 11, the Houston City Council Transportation, Infrastructure and Aviation Committee will discuss the METRO light rail construction.
Please attend and insist that METRO accommodate bicycles - both in the light rail cars and with on-street bike parking at stations.
Please take time off work if possible to attend this meeting - it is that important.
Please ask the City Council and Mayor to influence METRO to include accommodations for bicycles in the light rail construction. For maximum multi-modal connectivity, any light rail project MUST allow bikes in the rail cars, and provide plenty of bike parking at the stations.
The meeting will take place at 2:00 pm, in City Council Chambers, 901 Bagby, 2nd Floor.
METRO was slow to accept the benefit of bike racks on their buses until cyclists spoke up - and as of January 2010, there have been more than 117,000 bike boardings on METRO buses. We can make a difference!
