We did it, y’all! Almost three years of hard work, and we now have a new bike plan!
Let’s keep it going! Next up is budget season where we’re asking for more funding, key staff positions, & more efficient construction as we speed up implementation. Get involved at dallasbicyclecoalition.org/signup

HB 3187 (the Texas House bill to cut DART) died last night! Time ran out to schedule it for a vote on the House floor. Huge victory for @ridewithdata.org! The game’s not over yet, because SB 1557 (that does the same thing) is still floating out there, but the HB dying is major progress.

Community advocacy is necessary to be sure Dallas not only passes the forthcoming Dallas Bike Plan but also to be sure the city implements the projects citywide. Dallas had a great plan in 2011, but very little of it was built.
