BikeTexas needs your help to testify at Complete Streets Senate hearing Wednesday

Before you head to the Political Pedal, you can do some real good at the Legislature to make our streets safer for all users. The key legislation BikeTexas is working on this session is the Complete Streets bill (SB 513) which would require Texas roads to accommodate cyclists and pedestrians. The bill comes before the Senate Transportation Committee tomorrow, and if you can make, please stop by to voice your support for the bill.

Complete Streets Senate Committee Hearing
Wednesday, April 13, 2011, 8:30 am
Senate Transportation Committee Hearing Room, E1.016
More info here about the bill, how to testify, and how you can support the bill if you can’t make it.
