If there is anyone else who was involved and not acknowledged, please know that there is no intention to exclude anyone. It is just a reminder that it "takes a village" to go from an idea to the execution of a plan and many helping hands along the way!dr. nadine revheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687958578993621763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127178456883620193.post-90116579495252536462013-10-07T02:02:12.770-04:002013-10-07T02:02:12.770-04:00The bike sharrows project grew out of a Climate Ju...The bike sharrows project grew out of a Climate Justice initiative, headed by Karla Raimundi of Clearwater. I made the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/l9xsq5v" rel="nofollow">slide presentation</a>at the Clearwater meeting in Poughkeepsie in the fall of 2011, then again at the Beahive in Beacon. I then modified the presentation and presented it at a <a href="http://tinyurl.com/kpm2h3v" rel="nofollow">City Council meeting</a>, where Mark Wildonger of Scenic Hudson approached with an idea for funding. Stowe Boyd did most of the grant writing, and the grant was awarded through the Beacon Arts group, with the help of then president Linda Hubbard. The Beacon Community Resource Center also gets credit for allowing the grant-required classes to be held in its facilities. They are very bicycle friendly, and have offered to be a "refresh" station, which will be very handy now that the link between Madame Brett park and Dennings Point is nearing completion.<br /><br />Mark Roland<br />Bike Beacon<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285886035638697215noreply@blogger.com
