Help sought on bicycle bills

The League of Illinois Bicyclists is seeking help on its state bills to improve the state’s handling of federal Transportation Enhancements and Safe Routes to School dollars. A big result from the bill will be more completed bike trails in Illinois, LIB contends.

Illinois cyclists are asked to leave a quick voice mail message with both your state representative and state senator. Ask for a YES vote on House Bill 4757 (for Representatives) and on Senate Bill 2311 (for Senators). Calls are most needed by early Tuesday morning, March 4. Find your state legislators’ district phone numbers at http://www.elections.il.gov/DistrictLocator/AddressSearch.aspx

LIB has a PDF document that explains the purposes of the bills, and you may want to give them a read.
