Ft. Wayne Bike Summit an Exercise in Progress

From news-sentinel.com out of Ft. Wayne:

Bicyclers spoke, and the city listened.

Months after the city asked the public how it could become more bicycle friendly, a request that brought back more than 4,000 responses, the city held a Bicycle Summit on Saturday at the downtown Allen County Public Library.

There, Mayor Tom Henry made the roughly 250 bikers in attendance happy, announcing three pilot projects that would place designated bicycle lanes in three main city streets.

For a city with plenty of recreational biking routes but void of any road lanes dedicated to urban transportation, those plans represent progress.

About 250 in attendance to the summit (standing-room only one paper reported) and 4,000 replies to a survey focused on cycling habits and concerns of Ft. Wayne citizens. Good form, Ft. Wayne!
