Bicycle Friendly Grapevine

 

NCTCOG Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee

 

The Mad Duck crew attended the NCTCOG (North Central Texas Council of Governments) Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee meeting on Feb 17th.  Saw some great presentations by the regional transportation providers (DART, The T & DCTA) about their plans for including bicycles on trains and busses.  All were very focused and inclusive in their bike plans.  Dart has a great section on their website (click here) on bicycles, they also have a Bicycle Advisory Committee and a Bicycle Club (team Dart).

 

We also attended an Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals’ Webinar on Cycle Tracks.  This is a bicycle path that is separate from car lanes and is also separated from pedestrian traffic.  You can checkout the presentation on cycle tracks by clicking here!
