Press Conference August 28-10AM
« on: August 25, 2012, 01:33:09 PM »
There has been a change in the date and time for this conference, hope you can attend.

from Dennis Donahue

Due to scheduling conflicts, this event has been changed to:

Tuesday, August 28, 2012
10:00-11:00am

Mid-block (probably closer to the southeast corner of Calhoun & Wayne) in front of One Summit Square (110 E. Wayne), there will be a press conference that will announce the introduction to City Council the proposed amendments for the provision of bicycles and vehicles on the streets of Fort Wayne.

Feel free to invite any relevant bike groups/advocates to this event.

Please RSVP to me your availability. dennis.donahue@cityoffortwayne.org

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The City will be introducing an update to city bicycle ordinances to include the new infrastructure added to streets.  Also, they have included a 3-foot passing law and a "dooring" provision.  This is the most comprehensive re-working of bicycle rules in Fort Wayne in decades.  There will be a press conference to kick off the introduction to City Council - which will discuss the ordinance in early September.  I have been asked by city officials to invite as many cycling enthusiasts to the press conference as possible. 


Ride on,
Kathy Boling
