Lessons Leaned in Creating Bike Master Plans

B' Spokes: Since we have several areas developing Bike Master Plans this article by Richard Layman is a recommended read for those involved in the process. Some highlights from the article:

I often make the point that plans are beginnings, not endpoints.

government is about "sustained efforts."

prepared advocates poised to act are key.

if you want to improve the situation for whatever you are advocating for, YOU NEED AN AGENDA, one that is clear, cogent, and ideally comprehensive and complete.

If you don't identify the gaps, I guarantee they will never be corrected.
[B' Spokes: I'll also echo the importance of this as too often "what can easily be done" takes focus over "what needs to be done."]
