Nick,
The attached report contains photos of Bicycle Board accomplishments both under the TE grant and with other money (e.g. parking rings). (It's a docx file. Let me know if you have any trouble opening it.)

Good morning I am making final preparations to attend the League's Bike Summit March 8-10. I'm forwarding the latest newsletter from the Summit in which they ask attendees to bring/send photos of local projects that have benefitted from transportation enhancement funds. For us that would include anything paid for by our TE grant over the past 3 years. I would like ask board members to get send me anything you'd like me to share with our lawmakers to show them they are getting value for their money when I meet with them on Thursday March 10.
AND it's not too late for you to attend. Please consider doing so. As far as I know I will be the only person at the conference attending from our congressional district, and there's only one other person coming from WV. See the conference agenda for valuable seminars on becoming a more effective advocate. It's WAY worth attending.
Thanks, Nick Hein

Get Active Before the Summit - Attend Transportation Reauthorization Sessions House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John Mica (R-FL) has announced a series of field hearings and listening sessions on the pending surface transportation reauthorization bill [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ah8attcab&et=1104620080710&s=7584&...] (see map [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ah8attcab&et=1104620080710&s=7584&...] of sessions).

If you live in any of these congressional districts, contact [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ah8attcab&et=1104620080710&s=7584&...] your Representative's office to request the chance to speak or ask a question.
Thursday Alternative Hands-On Session For those who are unable to attend Thursday's Congressional meetings, please attend the alternative session Bike Facilities in D.C. Toole Design Group, in conjunction with the District of Columbia Transportation Department, have developed a hands-on bike tour of some of D.C.'s latest new cycle tracks and other bikeway.
