Bicycle Advisory Committee
A seven (7) member body appointed by the Lawrence City Commission serving three (3) year terms, the Bicycle Advisory Committee provides a communication linkage between the City Commission and the community on bicycle related issues. The committee works to improve bicycle safety and awareness through education of motorists and non-motorists; reviews, updates and oversees the distribution of the City’s Bike Map; manages the Bicycle Work Program; seeks information from multiple sources on current trends, programs, and facilities outside the local area; and promotes bicycle awareness by coordinating activities with the City, County, the School District, the University of Kansas, and the local bicycle clubs. The BAC makes recommendations to the City Commission concerning issues related to bicycle usage within the community, including:
- location and design of bicycle facilities for all users by integrating bicycle and pedestrian considerations into city projects and plans;
- expenditure of City funds for bicycle facilities and other non-motorized facilities;
- location and design of public streets in relation to bicycle use;
- improvement of bicycle safety and access with minor construction projects and street repairs;
- identification of quick, low-cost improvements on routes that are well used by bicyclists thus creating regular exposure for the program;
- promotion of bicycling by signing selected routes;
- proposal of city resolutions and ordinances concerning bicycle use and safety; and,
- identification and resolution of issues concerning Bicycle-Friendly Community designation.
