Chattanooga Police Department To Hold Safe Bicycling Initiative Roundtable

  • Thursday, March 5, 2015

The Chattanooga Police Department is inviting the community to a bicycle riding round table on Tuesday, at 6 p.m. at Outdoor Chattanooga to discuss CPD’s Safe Bicycling Initiative.  Officer Rob Simmons will introduce the Safe Bicycling Initiative and garner input.

Meeting Goals:

·         Identify specific locations where there are traffic conflicts between people driving and people biking so officers can practice better enforcement.

·         Identify illegal or inappropriate actions by people biking and people driving which contribute to traffic conflicts and crashes.

·         Identify specific infractions by people driving and people on bicycles.

·         Seek suggestions on how officers of the CPD can be effective in increasing tolerance among people who use roadways.

Bert Kuyrkendall from the City of Chattanooga Transportation Department will also present on current and future projects of importance to the bicycling community.

Outdoor Chattanooga will have information available about free bicycling safety classes and other bicycling resources in the community.

Free, indoor bicycle parking will be available.

Car parking is available for $1 per hour in the Coolidge Park lot next to Outdoor Chattanooga. Parking is free on River Street after 4:30 p.m.

Community members seeking more information can email info@outdoorchattanooga.com or call (423) 643-6888.
