There are a couple of openings on the Olympia Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee.

This is the group that created the plan for Olympia's bikeway network, the plan for the sidewalk improvement program, and advises the City Council on everything related to non-motorized transportation.

Please consider getting involved.  The City press release follows; ask me for information.  I was a member for four years, and chairman for two.
