ACHD Bicycle Advisory Council

Hill Road Water Main Work started last year will resume this week.  Expect Hill Rd to be closed at 20th St to around 36th St.  Maybe we will see a “bike route detour”

Thanks to Max Clark w/ CCDC we now have an air compressor/tire filling station in the Capitol Terrace Parking Garage. 

Bicycle Friendly Workshops are scheduled for April 20th 2011

There will be (2) workshops:  one in the morning for ‘Business” and one in the afternoon for our “University”.

Bicycle Friendly Business Workshop from 8:30 AM until 12 noon

Location: Owyhee Plaza Hotel, downtown Boise, in the Regency Room

Boise State University has invited Bill Nesper, director of Bicycle Friendly America programs.

A Bicycle Friendly Business is one which actively supports bicycling for transportation and recreation. There are many such businesses in our community, yet few have sought recognition from the LAB. In order to help local businesses realize their potential for award, learn more and register here http://www.boisestate.edu/bicyclecongress/registration_2011_BFB.asp for the Bicycle Friendly Business Workshop. There is no fee for participation.

Bicycle Friendly University Workshop 1 to 4:30 PM

Location: Boise State Student Union Building, Simplot A Ballroom.

Bicycle Friendly University programs, launched in October of 2010, will provide incentives, hands-on assistance, and award recognition for colleges and universities that actively support bicycling for transportation and recreation. Boise State University was among the first to apply for the new designation, and now wishes to help jump-start the process for candidate institutions around the northwest. Learn more and register here http://www.boisestate.edu/bicyclecongress/registration_2011_BFB.asp for the Bicycle Friendly University Workshop. There is no fee for participation

Thanks and I hope you have time to join us, Karen
