> Bike Lanes are Possible on Tioga Street!
> Board of Public Works Meeting at 4:45pm today City Hall Mon Apr 25th 
> 
> The debate continues as to whether or not bike lanes can be added to make it safer on Tioga Street to get to the Commons for people who bicycle.  
> 
> Today, the Board of Public Works may vote to remove motor vehicular parking on the west side of the 200 and 300 block of Tioga Street in order to make space for bikes lanes on both sides of the street. 
> 
> The overall discussion is important about how we use our public road spaces, and Bike Walk Tompkins believes this proposed action will make a significant improvement for people of all ages and abilities to make their way to and from our City Center safely by bicycle.  
> 
> BWT believes that the addition of these bike lanes combined with the rest of the recently created Bike Blvd network and the recent bike lanes on Cayuga Street will result in more and more people using cycling as a form of transportation for some or all of their city wide trips.  
> 
> BWT believes the City and the County will reap multiple economic, health, environmental, social justice and quality of life benefits as a result of these progressive decisions.
> 
> ****Help the Board of Public Works weigh the factors involved in this decision.  You can sign up to speak for up to 3 minutes at the beginning of the meeting to let your opinion be known, and stay and listen to the discussion. If you cannot make it in person to the meeting, email comments to engineering at cityofithaca.org****
