Temecula earns Bronze Bicycle Friendly Community Status


 
 
This just in, Temecula has been awarded Bronze in the Bicycle Friendly Communities Program from the League of American Cyclists.
 
This is the first time the city has been on this list, which gives us national recognition.
 
Congratulations to the city, to Mayor Mike Naggar and Chuck Washington on the transporation subcommittee (they ...are friends to cyclists in Temecula), and to planner Matt Peters (the application is about a foot high worth of paper). I am pasting the details from the League website, to read more about what it means to be a BFC, the commitment to make improvements each year and work up to Silver, Gold, Platinum and now, Beyond Platinum (we can dream), go to http://www.bikeleague.org/programs/bicyclefriendlyamerica/profiles/index_test.php?type=c&id=62&formid=245
