The Northeast Arkansas Bicycle Coalition is partnering with high school students from the NEA Career and Technical Center to provide bicycle parking for historic, downtown Jonesboro.  The students are building 20 bike racks as part of their community service project and will be submitting their work as part of a state-wide welding/engineering competition.

A neighboring city and county have adopted local bike routes into their master street plans.  According to the Arkansas State Highway Dept., accommodation of bicycles will be given due consideration when improvements or projects are planned for the state roadways that are designated as bike routes.  The city and county have also agreed to install Share the Road signs along these routes.  The signs are all provided by local donors, and since July of this year 75 signs have been purchased.

According to the Lake Tahoe Bicycle Coalition, “A new collaboration between the Coalition and the City of South Lake Tahoe began this month with the painting of bike emblems on city streets. This collaboration will assist cyclists in navigating through town and will increase awareness among motorists that cyclists are sharing the road.  The Coalition hopes to expand its painting project to other Tahoe communities and will maintain them annually.”

More good news from Lake Tahoe, “The City of South Lake Tahoe earmarked $25,000 in the 2009 general budget for the purchase of bike racks to be installed throughout the city. Racks will be installed at City properties and will also be made available to local businesses who are interested.  The racks will be free to qualifying businesses who will be responsible for installation and maintenance.”
