For all Champaign County residents - NOT just citizens of Urbana! As Urbana  
is the County Seat everyone in Champaign County should fill-in this  
petition.

BACKGROUND
Urbana has been recognized as a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of  
American Bicyclists. Creating an active transportation system for Urbana  
will improve our residents health, add economic benefits, reduce our carbon  
footprint, and give our community more choices in transportation.

WHAT IS NEEDED
The Urbana City Council approved the Urbana Bicycle Master Plan and an  
Urbana Downtown Plan that both call for the redesign of Main Street in  
downtown Urbana implementing a road diet that would improve safety, reduce  
traffic speeds, create a more attractive environment for shoppers and  
diners and provide better access for pedestrians and bicyclists. The Urbana  
Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission also approved this plan as did  
the Officers and Steering Committee of Champaign County Bikes. Road diets  
have been shown to slow and calm vehicle traffic and encourage bicyclists  
and pedestrians to shop and enjoy the downtown. We encourage the city  
council to proceed with implementation of these plans.

WHY
The Urbana Bicycle Master Plan was created with the assistance some of the  
best professional bicycle and transportation consultants in the state of  
Illinois along with the City of Urbana staff and extensive public input.  
It's implementation will provide safe, affordable, and healthy access for  
bicycling as a regular mode of transportation. In 2008 this plan won awards  
from both the Illinois Chapter of the American Planning Association and the  
Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations, validating the very  
high level of expertise and the outstanding quality of Urbana's plan for  
bicycles in the city's future. Implementation of this excellent bike plan,  
will benefit many generations to come and enhance the vitality of our  
downtown.

Thank You!
Champaign County Bikes
