first meeting


Hi Matt, Good to hear back from you about the Commuter Cylists of College
Park. Glad you met with your group on 10-23-07 to discuss Better Biking in
College Park and the UofM. I have a little more time today to share our
CPABC Twenty Years of experience in trying to make College Park and the UofM
More Bike/Ped Friendly. As you noted in our www.cpabc.org web-site we have
not met with the greatest success. As you will find out there is  strong
resistance to allow Bike/Ped Travel the same attention auto travel gets. I
am going to pass your e-mails around to the folks/elected officials on
campus who have a responsibility to help you out. Encouraging folks to ride
their Bikes to campus benefits evryone ,by reducing the increase in auto
traffic/congestion and making for better/safer communities. State Sen. Jim
Rosapepe(Lives in CP) Sec. of Trans, at MDOT John Porcari (lives in
Cheverly) and has been very supportive of Bike/Ped Travel at the UofM and
wants to see the Bike Rental Program started there. County Councilman Tom
Dernoga(Lives in Laurel) ) and wants better BPT-(Bike/Ped Travel) County
Councilman Eric Olson(Lives in CP) and strongly supports BPT. Capt. John
Brandt is with the UofM Police and is the best Bike Safety Expert in the
Country. Tom Rueggeri wiorka at the health Center(Bikes daily from
beltsville),Dan Hayes is the part-time Bike/Ped Coordinator at the UofM.
Gulsah Akar is heading a committee on campus for Better BPT, David Allen is
the Trans Director on campus and is only barely lukewarm on BPT. The Bike
Committee met on 8-24-07 with 13 attending and has NOT had a fellow up
meeting yet over two months later. David Allen did respond that the Bike
Committee was too diverse and he was forming another Bike Committee. NO
meeting date posted. Fred Shaffer MNCPPC Bike/PED Coordinator, Eileen Nivera
MNCPPC. Harvey Muller SHA Bike/Ped. Eric Gilliland WABA, Richard Chambers
One Less Car-OLC. Check-out our Bike/Ped Directory at www.cpabc.org for
names/spellings/contact info.

Your Commuting Cyclists of CP should be part of the UofM Bike Committee.
Several of us at CPABC met with Jim Rosapepe and John Porcari this summer to
help us get the UofM moving on Better BPT, but nothing has started yet. I
need to let you know that our 11th Annual CPABC/OLC Symposium is scheduled
for Wed. Feb 6, 2008 in Annapolis. Your groups should attend this important
day-long-get-together to find out who all the players are and meet them.
Your group is embarking on a very important mission and we offer you all the
encouragement and help so that you will be successful. Check-out the e-mails
of the folks I listed above and contact them. They will help you out. Let us
know how you make out. 2-6-8 on your calendar and stay in touch. Bill Kelly

Hi Bill,

Thank you very much for your prompt response and support!  I have browsed
the older Pedal Power newsletters and do indeed see how CPABC has tried to
get UMD's attention - I will create a link to the CPABC site on CCCP's
facebook page.

The group had its first meeting on Tuesday 23rd and here's a list of some
relevant things we discussed if you get a moment (here's a shortened version
of the news update I sent group members):


Tues 23rd
About 8 or so people showed up and we discussed possible goals/projects for
the group to undertake. Some ideas we threw around:

1) escorted rides by experienced commuters to newbies
2) getting some (the more the merrier) people to get official League of
American Cyclists licensing to teach bike safety and road riding
3) having #2 in order to get us officially endorsed by DOTS
4) getting a bike-to-campus wildfire to consume the college campuses of the
world
5) GO TO POWERSHIFT, registration closes Monday (20$ to register, free if
you "host," i.e. provide somebody w/ a some semblance of a couch/bed/hammock
in your hut)! Since we're in the alternate transportation business, this'll
be a great place to meet w/ 4,000 other college students from around the
country and spread the gospel of bike commuting.

Thank you once again for your support,
Matt

The Potomac Pedalers Touring Club (PPTC) has organized two bike rides
this Saturday and Sunday, October 6 & 7, in conjunction with the 17th
Annual Metropolitan Washington DC Tour of Solar Homes and Buildings
[http://www.solartour.org/].  These casual-paced bike rides will
visit up to 14 of the more than 40 solar homes and buildings that
will be on display between 11 AM and 5 PM on either date.

A free Solar Tour booklet that describes each home on the tour and is
needed to enter the homes can be downloaded from
[http://www.solartour.org/].  For descriptions of the bike rides, see
PPTC's October ride calendar at [http://www.bikepptc.org/Oct07Rides].

On Saturday, bicyclists will first gather at 10:45 AM near the back
entrance of Sidwell Friends Middle School on 37th St NW, near Tilden
St NW, to tour this exceptional school building, starting at 11 AM.
Secure bike racks are conveniently located near the school
entrances.  After inspecting the middle school, the bicyclists will
visit up to six private homes featuring solar and energy-efficient
technologies in the Upper Northwest, Adams Morgan, and Capitol Hill
sections of the District of Columbia. The route will mostly use low-
traffic residential streets, plus car-free roads in Rock Creek Park.
Since the group may stay an average of 20 minutes at each home, and a
lunch stop in Mt Pleasant is planned, the full 24-mile bike tour may
end as late as 5:30 PM. Participants can readily shorten their tour
by visiting fewer homes (most are clustered near the ride start) and
either cycling or taking Metrorail back to the ride start (or home).
In addition, the cue sheet for Saturday's ride is posted at
[http://www.bikepptc.org/node/1058] for bicyclists who'd prefer to
ride on their own and/or vary the sequence or number of homes
visited.

On Sunday, bicyclists will meet at 10:45 AM near the Greenbelt
Metrorail station entrance (and Parking Area 4B) to visit up to four
solar homes within the City of Greenbelt.  After a lunch stop at the
Roosevelt Center, an optional 10-mile ride will reach up to three
more homes in Takoma Park (not recommended for pre-teen children).
The ride leader(s) may not return to the Greenbelt ride start from
Takoma Park, but those who park at Greenbelt and bike to Takoma Park
can either backtrack 10 miles by bike or take Metrorail for the
return leg.  As with the full Saturday bike tour, the Sunday bike
tour may end after 5 PM, but the four Greenbelt homes can be visited
in an hour or two, including the 8 miles of bicycling.  The cue sheet
for Sunday's bike ride is posted at
[http://www.bikepptc.org/node/1059].

The start locations for both bike rides have ample free parking, but,
in the spirit of this tour, participants are encouraged to ride their
bicycles or take Metro to get to and from the ride starts.

If you need more information or have questions about these bike
tours, feel free to contact the organizer, Allen Muchnick, at 703-271-
0895 or <muchnick@...>.

Subject: Meeting to discuss safety improvements to Paint Branch
Parkway at the Trolley Trail crossing

In case you hadn't seen this in today's Gazette, a public meeting
will be held on Tuesday, July 10 from 6:30 - 7:30 at the College Park
City Hall.  The notice reads "Join Prince George's County
Councilmember Eric Olson and the County's DPW & T  to discuss the
proposed safety improvements for the crossing of Paint Branch Parkway
at the Trolley Trail.  For further info, call Councilmember Olson's
office at 301-952-3060.

I have finally spoken to MNCPPC.   The Paint Branch Trail is NOT dead.
  There is a second proposal being offered which includes a bike path
along Cherry Hill rd. on BARC property.  Originally it was thought
that Cherry Hill road itself would be the alternative which is not a
good alternative.  We (BARC Bicyclist) are still pursuing a trail
through BARC as it is the natural flow.  A few of the concerns for the
trail running through BARC are security, cost (always a factor in
trail decisions) and space constraints.  There are also some concerns
that a trail directly through the research center will affect normal
work operations (traffic flow, irrigation of field plots etc.) In
addition this trail will include a spur under 495 to IKEA and the new
condos/apts in the same parking lots. So a major beltway crossing is
still very feasible, at least at this point.   Charlie

Hey folks: I heard through the grapevine that access was denied
through BARC property for this trail.  Does anyone have any
information? Who denied? Reasons?  I'm thinking BARC homeland security
might be behind this.  Please post or email me.  I am part of the BARC
bike group and will try to drum up internal support....again.  Thanks

Subject: Brief Overview/Synopsis-Bike/Ped Symposium

Hi Bike/Ped Folks, We just finished our 10th Annual Successful Bike/Ped
Symposium in Annapolis on Friday Feb 9, 2007. Many of you attended and many
more were unable to attend so we would like you know what you missed. This
Symposium is untaken with great efforts from/by Jim and Jane Hudnall, Oxon
Hill Bicycle &Trail Club and OLC. For the past nine years the Symposium was
always held on the first Wednesday in February, many asked why we  changed
to Friday and this year at the request of the Bicycle Advisory Committee it
was changed to Friday to accommodate their Annual Annapolis Meeting, but to
our frustration they did not meet at the Symposium, but across town. Several
MBPAC members did show up in the afternoon-Richard Cushwa-Jim Titus-David
Whitaker-Sgt. Janet Harrison-Jim Swift-Dave Dionne(6 out of 21) Many of the
attendees and elected officials were asking about the MBPAC. Sec. John
Porcari(Newly Appointed Sec. of Trans-MDOT)  was there early about 8:00AM
and spent over an hour talking with and answering questions about Bike/Ped
Travel in Md. All were very excited about John returning to MDOT and
carrying on the great Bike/Ped Policies from the Gov. Glendening
Administration. There were over 20 Displayers from around the State with
many great handouts and info on local projects. St. Mary's Co. was
displaying their Three Notch Trail., Frank Stevens from Bowie(The Best
Bicycle City) had an outstanding displays of the Bowie's very progressive
Bike/Ped Advancements. Barbara Kliefort from WABA /Met Branch Trail,,Adam
Schwartz UofM/ Cooperative Bike Extension, Fred Shaffer MNCPPC had a very
nice update on Prince George's Co. Inventory of past Bike/Ped Completions
and Plans in works. Glen Harrison from WABA was there with the Washington DC
Regions Plans/Displays and accomplishments and Eric Gilliland from WABA was
answering questions and working with Andy Clarke from LAB on a joint Panel
on Bicycle Friendly Communities & Complete Streets. Baltimore Bicycling
Club-BBC, Oxon Hill Bicycle & Trail Club-OHBTC, College Park Area Bicycle
Coalition-CPABC and many more groups had very informative displays. You
didn't have time to see all of them. Too much good conversation.

About Mid-Morning a Legislative Award Program started with awards going to
newly elected Sen. Jim Rosapepe((A long Time Bike/Ped Legislator) and
Del.Maggie McIntosh, Chair of the Environmental Maters Committee. Next came
a wonderful talk by Doug Simmons Assistant Administrator of SHA on the
ongoing accomplish- ments of SHA on Bike/Ped Projects. Doug talked about the
new State of Md. Bike Map and the mark-up copy that Harvey Muller had
brought along to display and asked for comments. The best part of the map
was the On-Road-Signed Bikeways(In Kelly Green to Go) on the map that
started out to be 100 miles and when all calculated came close to 500 miles.
About five years ago there were only 8 miles of Signed-Marked Bikeways in
Md. Doug Simmons and SHA received a large round of applause for this
monumental achievement. Doug reconfirmed SHA's  commitment to make all new
roads and reconstructed roads Bike/Ped/ADA Compliant.  He stated how
important it was that STATE LAW was changed by the advocacy groups to allow
State Highways Funds be used in Non Motorized Travel. Doug talk was most
refreshing as he talked on about mass transportation, connecting Bike
Route/Trails to stations/schools/workcenters.-Safe Route to Schools and
using Fed Funds and TEALOU Funds along with Trans Funds to make Md. More
Bike/Ped Friendly. He introduced Felicia Baker the new Bike/Ped Person at
SHA Dist. #3 which handles all of Prince George's and Montgomery Counties.
So far  Dist. #3 is the only SHA District with a Bike/Ped Person on board.
We are hoping that all seven SHA Dist. Will get a Bike/Ped Person to assist
Harvey Muller. Doug Simmons stayed on for over an hour after his talk  to
talk with and answer questions from the audience. There were so many talks
and conversations/Displays  going on that folks had to move between groups
to keep up. During this time many left the Symposium Room to talk with their
Senators/Delegates from their Home Districts. While Jim Hudnall and I were
walking the halls of the Miller Senate Office  Bldg. we encountered Neil
Pedersen, Administrator of SHA and had a nice chat. He asked us how the
Symposium was going and said he would try to stop by to visit. We told him
about Doug Simmons talk and he reconfirmed SHA Commitment to make Md. More
Bike Friendly. We thanked for his good Bike/Ped work at SHA and left him
with a Kelly Green Bicycle on his lapel. OLC supplied pizza for lunch  so we
didn't have to go out to eat and miss valuable time at the Symposium and it
was gone in a flash. The Md. Legilative Bike/Ped Caucus under the able
leadership of Chair Del. Jon Cardin met in the hallway during this time with
6 to 8 Caucus members to discuss the impending Bike/Ped Bills.
We found out that the word "CAUCUS" is an Algonquian Indian word that means
when the"Big Chiefs Meet to Discuss Important Matters". This terminology
certainly extends to our Legislative Bike/Ped Caucus. We believe there are
very few if any Bike/Ped Caucus across the county and our Md one is great.
The Caucus discussed HB 173\Bike Safety Bill and were in support of the
concept.

Later on in the afternoon Dave Dionne-Anne Arundel Co. Greenways introduced
Terry Maxwell from the RecTrails Program and Mary Keller Transportaion
Enhancement Program at SHA. Terry Maxwell talked about the $1 Million
Dollars which is available each from SHA to do small trails enhancement
$15,00- to $30,000 per project to improve safety and access  to mostly
non-auto travel. We talked about using Rec Trails Fund to do our CPABC Mid
Md. Bike Map Printing costs. Mary Keller talked about  enhancement  funds of
larger dollar worth of the $800,000 to $1 Million range for bigger projects
from SHA sharing Fed Funds. The overall idea was that there was funds
available to do many non-auto transportation out there and once again to
make Md. More Bike/Ped Friendly. Shortly after these talks the crowd
starting tinning out as it was Friday afternoon and it was Friday get-away.
Everyone was very pleased with the whole Symposium and were only
disappointed that they could not talk with everyone there because there were
too many people to see and not enough time  to not to visit with everyone.
Jim Hudnall,s "Yellow Books' with 194 Bike/Ped Contacts Folks listed
there-in disappeared from the welcoming table(Thank you Monica) by the end
of the day. If you didn''t get one of these  very important "Yellow Book""
you missed out, check the OHBTC/CPABC Web_site and click Directory.You will
find this "Yellow Book'listed there.. We want to thank everyone who worked
so hard to make this 10th Annual Bike/Ped Symposium the best we have had.
Jim & Jane Hudnall deserve the biggest thanks because they do so much more
than anyone else. Hope to see you in February 2008

10th Annual Maryland Bicycle and Pedestrian Symposium

Annapolis plays host to annual event

Baltimore Examiner article, Feb 10, 2007
by Ron Cassie, rcassie@...
Article at
http://www.examiner.com/a-558038~Annapolis_plays_host_to_annual_event.html

Baltimore County Del. Jon Cardin, probably more than any other Maryland
elected official, has hands-on knowledge of the hurdles bicycle commuters
face.

Cardin rode a bike daily from Mount Washington to downtown Baltimore as a
University of Maryland law student. Today, he still rides regularly from his
Timonium home to his law office in Baltimore. He's even ridden from Timonium
to the state capitol.

"I've timed it," Cardin said. "Just under two hours."

Friday at the Miller Senate Office Building in Annapolis, Cardin embraced
the 10th Annual Maryland Bicycle and Pedestrian Symposium, sponsored by One
Less Car, a statewide pro-pedaling, pro-walking advocacy organization. Each
year, One Less Car brings together commuter and recreational cycling,
walking and hiking groups, plus environmental, smart-growth and alternative
transportation activists for a day of exchange and lobbying with various
Maryland department officials, state delegate and senators.

Organizations such as the Baltimore Bicycling Club, the Ellicott City-based
Mid-Maryland Triathlon Club, the Oxon Hill Bicycle and Trail Club, as well
as daily commuters like Greg Cantori from Pasadena in Anne Arundel County
and Stephen Franzoni of Joppatowne in Harford County shared experiences,
hopes and plans for more bike-friendly roads.

"The biggest thing is it is a chance for us [the bicycling and pedestrian
advocates] to get together and network and see what everyone is doing and
come up with new ideas," said Bill Kelly, 67. He lives in Howard County now,
but is from College Park and is chairman of the College Park Area Bicycle
Coalition.

Cardin, chairman of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Caucus, said he is working on
two bills designed to promote bicycling safety.

The first bill would require automobile drivers to yield to a bicyclist in a
bike lane, and would permit drivers to only pass a cyclist if it can be done
without endangering the cyclist. The second bill would increase the fines
and length of license suspensions of drivers who fail to yield to cyclists
and thereby cause bodily harm or death in a crash.

The symposium, the advocacy work, the legislation and the additional bike
lanes are "about changing the consciousness of the American driver," Cardin
said. He presented One Less Car's friendly legislator of the year award to
Baltimore Del. Maggie McIntosh, chair of the House Environmental Matters
Committee.

"All these people can share the road," Cardin said.
