Meeting on City Park Long Term Plan
by cxagent      www.bikemojo.com
There is a meeting scheduled for this Saturday 11/14/2015 on the long term plan (vision) for the Emma Long Park. The info put out by the City shows the focus of this will be the 77 acres near the lakefront. That said, the City wants as many people to show up as possible so they can say they have good public input. We will have representation for the Motorcycle/MTB Park there. Attend if you are interested but I suspect the Moto/MTB Park will not even be discussed.
Public Meeting Rescheduled for November 14th!
The Parks and Recreation Department has postponed the Emma Long Park Vision Plan public meeting due to the expected heavy rainfall over the next few days.
New Public Meeting Date   Saturday, November 14th      10am – 1pm
Location:Â Â Â Â Emma Long Metropolitan Park

() The route through El Paso is pretty bad. There is about a dozen miles on a 6-lane road that has heavy traffic.
(2) The wind in west Texas is very strong, it blows …
Residents urge Mobility Authority to add continuous shared-use path to US 183
By Amy Denney      communityimpact.com
About a dozen residents asked the agency considering a variable-priced toll project on US 183 in Northwest Austin to include a continuous shared-use path.
“My main concern with the current design is the vast majority of pedestrians and cyclists can’t pass safely through the corridor,†said resident Erick Benz, who is president of Bike Austin’s board of directors. “My wife and kids would not be able to move between Lakeline Mall and the Arboretum unless they use a car. We need a shared-use path along this corridor.â€

New Bike Shop In Katy
Cycling Space City      cyclingspacecity.blogspot.com
Houston has some great bike shops- Blue Line Bike Lab, West End Bikes, Urban Bike Gallery, Daniel Boone Bikes- to name a few, but out in the burbs of Katy we are stuck with chain store Sun & Ski, assholes at Bike Barn, and tiny Bicycle World Express. But starting with a soft launch this Wednesday November 18th Bicycle World is opening a new …
