[MissoulaGov] Committee Update 9-30-09

[Rod Austin]

Thanks Derek. The Downtown BID is working to create a better bicycle
environment in the downtown and is very supportive of Missoula become the
premier cycle community in the nation. We have collaborated with the cycling
community to get lanes on Higgins as well as putting money up for addition
parking in the downtown that includes the new bike corral on N Higgins. We
are supportive of back-in angle parking for its safety factor for cyclists
as well as motorist. I would like you to walk your cycle on the sidewalks
however. Thanks again.

 

Rod

The businesses have nothing to complain about: Bob's amendment is probably
not even really a compromise at all, as I suspect there are few, if ANY,
stretches of downtown sidewalk that span 24 feet or more between doorways?
So, its probably still, in effect, a total ban. 
Now that the homeless, vendors and street musicians are taken care of, BID
can get on with the business of banning bicyclists, dogs, and other
undesirables from the sidewalks...
