The Milwaukee by Bike 2010 Bicycle Master Plan has been drafted and now is up for public review. Now’s your chance to contribute to improving bicycle traffic (as well as traffic of the car and pedestrian variety) in our great city. In general the plan provides an outline for how bike lanes and bike boulevards can best be implemented into our current road traffic scheme. Input from the public will be accepted via various means including a public meeting tomorrow (July 14).

To see the plan and learn how you can help, steer yourself to: Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin 2010 Milwaukee Bike Plan

The exceptional bike blog, Over the Bars in Milwaukee, provides much insight on the plan. If you want to read comments of your boneheaded neighbors (or those who don’t even live or work in Milwaukee), here’s the Journal Sentinel’s report.
