The Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin and the entire Wisconsin bicycle community is excited to report major legislative successes from this past month. According to the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin, “On June 8th, Governor Doyle signed the “Dooring” legislation in to law. On June 29th, lobbying efforts from April became fully realized when the Governor signed the Wisconsin state budget. The budget contains Complete Streets legislation and an additional $5 million for bicycle infrastructure. The 2010-2011 Wisconsin state budget contains the first-ever state funded source for bicycle infrastructure.”
San Luis Obispo County Bicycle Coalition celebrated the adoption of a two-year budget that will add significant improvements to SLO’s bicycle network. According to SLOCBC, “The budget adoption is the culmination of over a dozen public meetings where hundreds of residents made their voices heard about the need for continued bicycle and pedestrian improvements. The budget adoption also marks the culmination of the Bicycle Coalition’s own Bike the Budget campaign, an organized effort to continue improving the city’s bikeways.” The budget will make significant progress on the Railroad Safety Trail, funds bicycle education efforts, staffing of a part-time bike programs assistant, and a fund for miscellaneous bikeway improvements.
