Coming Soon for a Bicyclist Near You….

Over the winter, a group of dedicated citizens and city employees took first steps toward making Staunton
a more bike-friendly city.
The establishment of the Staunton Ad Hoc Bicycle Advisory Committee to advise the city followed last spring’s
enthusiastic presentation by Ride Staunton to City Council. The advisory committee was appointed in July by
City Manager Steve Owen and met every three weeks through February to consider ways in which the city can
better accommodate bicyclists.
To guide its efforts, the advisory committee adopted a structure developed by the League of American Cyclists—
known as the “5 E’s”— which brings a focus on the subject areas of Education, Encouragement, Enforcement,
Engineering and Evaluation and Planning. (Further details at http://www.bikeleague.org/content/5-es.)
The Advisory Committee issued its report and recommendations to the City Manager in March, and expects a
presentation to City Council in May.
