Task Force Created to Improve Bicycle Transportation Plan

Mayor Tom Henry has announced the creation of the Bike Fort Wayne Task Force to work on improving bicycle infrastructure. The group is made up of 40 members in the fields of education, nature, law enforcement and transportation. The task force will advise city staff in the writing of a bicycle transportation plan. Members plan to meet approximately six times from now through October with a public open house in late fall.

Some great stuff happening up in Ft. Wayne. I've a few friends up there; I'm almost tempted to visit them so I can ride around a bit.
