The Report:
We have recently completed a report for the city council which encapsulates our recommendations for a more bike and ped friendly city. The report is the result of almost two years worth of work involving field surveys, community meetings, your suggestions, and work with city representatives. The initiatives and infrastructure improvements outlined in the document will be going before your city council member soon, to be adopted as a bike and ped masterplan. Please contact your city council member and support our suggestions. This wiki environment played a major role in the generation of the report, functioning as a work space for all of the collaborators on the project. As the report is now complete, many of the old HBU wiki pages are replicated in the final report and have been moved into our "Archive" section. One of our major goals is to get the City of Hyattsville’s certification as a "Bicycle Friendly Community". Passage of a bike and pedestrian master plan is the first major step in achieving that goal!
