Speak Up for Biking at Tacoma City Council!

 



On Tuesday April 28th, Tacoma City Council will be declaring May as Bike Month in Tacoma. This is a great opportunity to give public comment on the importance of investing in safe infrastructure for cyclists throughout Tacoma.
 

Join Tacoma On the Go, 2nd Cycle, and other advocates on April 28th at Tacoma City Council to give comment! The more Council hears from biking advocates, the more investment we are likely to see. Share your stories of biking in Tacoma – the good, the bad, and the ugly. Speak to a specific location in Tacoma that needs to be made safer. Share your vision of what our city could look like. Your voice and your perspective matter and can influence what decisions the City makes.

The Council meeting begins at 5pm Tuesday April 28th at City Hall (747 Market Street). We will speak during public comment, after the proclamations. Public comment will likely start around 5:30pm.

Tacoma On the Go staff will arrive around 4pm outside City Hall to help you with your testimony and help folks to meet each other. We’ll head inside to sign in around 4:45pm. Bring a friend and make some new ones! Plan to have 90 seconds to speak. Write out your comments (or main points) ahead of time and be sure to practice to ensure you’re within the 90 second time limit. The most effective testimony is personal, specific, and connected to City priorities and planned projects.
