Jax Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee crafted a resolution passed by Jax Council Rules Committee supporting an effort to become a LAB Bicycle Friendly Community. I am not certain whether it has passed the full council yet. A contract has been signed for a new Bike/Ped Master Plan for Jax, the first since 1990. Complicating things is the recent resignation of the Bike/Ped coordinator. We can lobby but the city needs to move aggressively to make the changes so it deserves the Bicycle Friendly designation.

A few years back, Jacksonville and Memphis Tennessee were noted as being very unfriendly biking communities. Memphis Tennessee was just named a Bronze Medal City by the League of American Bicyclist! If Memphis Tennessee can claim this distinction, so can Jacksonville. Let's get Jacksonville on the track for an award other than being a death trap for Bicyclist and Walkers.
