Sustainability Action Network has been doing grassroots bicycle transportation advocating in Lawrence since 2007. We noted that 37 years had passed since the first Lawrence bicycle plan – The Pedalplan for Lawrence
In 2013, we initiated budget proposals for bicycle funding and in 2014 we were invited to present a budget proposal in which we proposed spending $2 million/year on bicycle transportation, reallocate some pavement from auto to bicycle use, and hire a Bicycle Division Manager/engineer. We proposed spending 25% of transportation funds on bicycles, and hiring a bicycle engineer.
