If you work in the Austin cycling community, or, I would presume, an affiliated organization, the City of Austin would like to meet with you and get your feedback regarding an educational campaign they are starting.

Here’s the full email, forwarded to us by the ever-stalwart Leslie Luciano of Bicycle Sport Shop (she now of the Rick Perry open records request fame!). Thanks as always.

The City of Austin, Austin Police Department and the Public Works Department are in the process of implementing an educational campaign to foster camaraderie between the cycling communities and to assist in the safety awareness to cyclists, citizens and motorists.

City departments have begun to examine ways to implement a voluntary web-based program that would be accessible to all users containing information on reporting bicycle thefts, registration, and safety procedures.

Your assistance is needed to provide an open dialogue and alternative options for this campaign. If you are interested, please email Austin Police Department Constituent Liaison, Lee Davila, with your contact email address and business/group association at Leander.Davila@ci.austin.tx.us as well as when you would be available for meeting (i.e. day of the week and time that works best for you).

You can cc-me if you’d like, we will be working on this together.  The more of you that get involved, the better the feedback, and the better the program overall, so we’d really like to hear from as many of you as possible.
