Bike Network Planning Open House Workshops
Conclude With Two District E Meetings
NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans’ Office of Transportation, in collaboration with the Department of Public Works, the City Planning Commission and our community partners, this week concludes a series of "open house" neighborhood workshops to engage residents about the upcoming plan to expand and improve the City’s bike network, also known as Moving New Orleans Bikes.
The open houses tonight and Thursday are for residents of District E, first with a meeting from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Martin Luther King Library (1611 Caffin Ave.). (Click here to see map.) Thursday's (final) meeting will be held from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at East New Orleans Regional Library (5641 Read Blvd.). (Click here to see map.)
You can view and download the flyer for tonight's meeting below.
These meetings explain how the City plans to:
- Create a community-inspired vision for the New Orleans bikeway network
- Educate the public on the bikeway planning effort
- Discuss the importance of safe and protected bikeway infrastructure and it’s benefit to all modes of traffic
- Gather support for a rapid build-out of the bikeway network once planned
Here is the schedule for the last two meetings, which run from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.:
Wednesday, April 17 -- District E, Martin Luther King Library (1611 Caffin Ave.)
Thursday, April 18 -- District E, East New Orleans Regional Library (5641 Read Blvd.)
As we build out safe infrastructure, we need to make sure we’re obeying the rules of the road. Refresh your memory by reviewing the guide on the back of the City’s Bike Network Map.
