I did not see anything. You have already send the maps and text, right. Do not forget that list of Class III
on Arterials. I would not worry about those on the implementation map (we can say those are corridors).
But on the Plan Map they must be resolved.

Ed,
I will not be able to attend the meeting next week. I have asked Brian Minyard to be
there. He can help with dates for the Planning Commission, if the group is ready to
send the Bike Plan to the City. If you would like to talk about the Plan for a few
minutes let me know and I can do that this week.
Walter

Subject: BFCC - Next Meeting
Team Bike LR,
I rode in the Denver "Moonlight Classic" last night. There were thousands of
participants all ages and it was really fun. This may be something we are interested in
doing in Little Rock sometime - Maybe the "Little Rock Harvest Moon Ride" or
something. The website is http;l/www.moonlight-classic.com/about.htm1.
Our next meeting is set for July 29 at 11:30 at the Rivermarket. Draft agenda attached
for your review. Please let me know if you would like to add anything or make any
changes to the agenda.
I would like to have a follow on meeting after the regular meeting on the 29th to
discuss chairmanship of the sub committees and task forces. If anyone is interested in
heading up one of the many sub committees or task forces we are forming please let
me know and let me know if you are able to stay after the meeting on the 29th to work
thru this. If that time will not work, please suggest what will and perhaps we have this
meeting at another time that is better for everyone. Attached is a draft committee
structure diagram for everyone's review. Please let me know if you have any
comments on this.
Below is a link to the webpage with the meeting report from last month's meeting. Feel
free to forward me any comments you have:

A quick progress report:
1. to Mayor Stodola, Bryan Day and Mark Webre for the recent repair work to the
Two Rivers Park trail near the new bridge.
2. The Two Rivers Park Bridge will open Saturday, July 23 at 7:OOam. The Friends of
Two Rivers will be selling shirts for $15 at the opening so bring a check or money if
you want to buy one at the discounted price. Artwork attached. We are also hoping to
have bike rentals available at the bridge opening for people who show up without a
bike who may decide to join the ranks of Arkansas cyclists. David Fike is going to talk
to Bryan Day about this.
3. We met with Peabody to discuss the formation of "Club Duck", which will hopefully
become an awesome fitness and health package for the city of Little Rock focused on
diet, exercise, rest and a commitment to healthy living. We also discussed the Bike
Station and it sounds like it will fit right into their plans for promoting healthy living
through their hotel. We discussed the Fitness Center component of the Bike Station
and it sounds like we need to include this as a part of the Bike Station. All of the
Riverfront/Rivermarket area hotels will benefit from it.

4. Still trying to connect with Director Kumpuris on the Bike Station. He is out of town
currently and it looks like we may not get together until August at the earliest.
5. We have been in discussions with Aristotle regarding renewing the website and it
looks like we may do this in the fall. We will have a better looking site with more
functionality and it will be easier to use. Exciting.
6. Key projects we are focusing on to accomplish in the near future include:
A. Improving Pinnacle Valley Rd from Hwy 10 to the RR tracks before there is an
accident.
B. Providing a temporary improvement at ECS to carry us through the process of the
real fix. Currently we a discussing simply widening the sidewalk in front of the school to
accommodate two way traffic and improving the ramps at the intersection to omit the
right angle turns. Even though we are working on it now, we are probably looking at
five years or more before the new trail connecting downtown LR to Riverfront Drive is
open for business. This low-cost stopgap fix will hopefully carry us through this period.
C. Extending the Jr Deputy trail at the Riverfront connection across the ditch towards
Cottondale so cyclists headed for downtown can cross traffic at the left turn cut that is
already there and do not have to remerge with traffic in the left lane to get to the Jr
Deputy trail. This should be much safer than the current situation for both cyclists and
motorists.
D. We are hoping the city will improve Riverfront Drive from Rebsamen to the Jr
Deputy trail as a part of the current Roundabout project. Thanks to Terry Watson, Eric
Brock and the Cromwell firm for providing the Mayor with some stunning images of
what this improvement could look like. Hopefully by our meeting on the 29th the Mayor
will have selected the course of action he would like to take on improving this section
of the trail.
Finally, please let other people that might be interested in getting involved in the BFCC
know about our upcoming meeting and please send me email addresses of anyone
that might beinterested in receiving these emails to encourage their involvement. I
used the regular send to box on this distribution so you can see who is on the list
currently. Thanks for your involvement and help making LR a bicycle friendly city.
Things are happening, and bigger things are on the way. Thanks again to Mayor
Stodola, Bryan, Mark, Walter, Tony and the rest of the city for their support of this
endeavor. Together we can make a difference in the future of our city.
