urbana city council to vote on bike lanes

On Tuesday, 19 January, starting at 7pm the Urbana City Council will be voting on whether or not to implement bike lanes by removing on-street parking on several streets around town.  The meeting will take place at the Council Chambers of Urbana Town Hall at 400 S. Vine Street.  From an email from the Champaign County Bikes listserv:

Tomorrow night (Tuesday) the Urbana City Council will be voting on the implementation of the bike lanes by removing the on street parking on Main St (between Glover and Grove), Philo, Washington, and Race.   There was a letter in the News-Gazette today condemning Urbana's bike lanes and advocating only using side streets to bicycle. 

If you are able to attend tomorrow night and speak in support of the Urbana Bike Plan please do.  The meeting starts at 7 p.m. and you can sign a card asking to speak or you can just sign a card articulating your support for the parking ban and installation of bike lanes.

If you want bike lanes in Urbana, this is your chance to speak out for them.  Tomorrow at 7pm at Urbana Town Hall!
