Bus Rapid Transit / Bike carriers

Dear Bicyclists,
Is anyone willing to try out the design for loading bikes on/off of the prototype Bus Rapid Transit buses LTD is building? Stef Viggiano is looking for a few bicyclists to come to the LTD Station in Glenwood in early September to try out the test vehicle they have, and give feedback from the bicyclist's perspective.
The best times for Stef would be either at noontime or in the evening during the week of Sept. 12--but if necessary he could probably make other times work.
If you're willing to help out, please contact Diane Bishop at dbtransportationsolutions@msn.com. Thanks for your help!

Jim Bloomer's Bench

Come have a look!
The new bench dedicated to Jim Bloomer is complete and ready for visitors. I think you will find the location, at the end of the causeway going North from Valley River, excellent. We will have a formal dedication later this Fall.
