If you live in the City of Olympia, please consider volunteering for
the City Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee.
This is the Committee that has guided the gradual completion of the
Olympia bikeway network, is setting the priorities for the City
sidewalk program, and makes recommendations on a whole variety of bike
and ped related issues to the City Council. Here's the description
from the City's web site:
Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) (4 openings)
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee was created in 1990 to
advise the City Council on the encouragement and facilitation of the
use of bicycles and walking as a regular means of transportation and
recreation. You need to live within the City limits to apply for any of
the four open positions. We are
seeking a bicycling organization representative, neighborhood
association representative, a walking/running advocate, and a person
with physical or sensory disability.
To apply, go to the City web site at:
