D.C. Bicycle Advisory Council

Join us for the first rolling meeting of the year - a tour of Van Ness to inform the DC Office of Planning's  vision framework for the neighborhood. We will focus on east/west connectivity, access to Rock Creek Park and the lack of good options north/south beyond Connecticut Avenue. We will meet at the Van Ness Metro stop at 6:30pm - it will be a slow paced ride. Please bring lights as we expect to be riding during dusk though we will be done before its completely dark. As always, members of the public are encouraged to come - look for the bright orange touring bike. Hope to see you on Monday evening!

There are a number of bike route signs indicating bike friendly routes around the city. So far, the signed routes have focused on long routes and connecting neighborhoods. The BAC would like your suggestions on potential smaller bike routes to suggest. Where do you get confused? Are there routes through geographic obstacles that are not intuitive? Small blips in the street network that leave you entirely perplexed? We'd love to hear your thoughts! Loading...

Join us for a Legislative Committee meeting this Wednesday, April 8th, at 7pm. The meeting will focus on:  Legislation  to amend DC code to clarify BAC term limits and appointment issues.  The joint statement of principles on sidewalk cycling proposed by BAC-PAC joint committee  Bicycle and Pedestrian Working Group ideas and discussion  Provided the spring weather holds, we will be meeting at Busboys and Poets (1025 5th St NW).
