Bicycle Pedestrian Coordinator Press Release

The press release from yesterday's press conference announcing Omaha's first Bicycle Pedestrian Coordinator can be found by clicking on this link!

Very exciting for the city of Omaha, the health of Omaha, and the quality of life in Omaha!

In the photo are community partners that made this happen: Kerri Peterson, Live Well Omaha; Rick Cunningham, City of Omaha Planning Department; Carlos Morales, new Bicycle Pedestrian Coordinator; Paul Mullen, MAPA; Mikki Frost, Alegent Health Systems; Jim Suttle, Omaha Mayor.

Join Us!

The wait is finally over!

The press conference announcing the city's new Bike/Ped Coordinator will be on Wednesday, Sept 8 at 2pm at the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge.

Ideally, we'd like to have as many cyclists attend as possible...which, given the 2pm annoucement may be problematic, but if you have any flexibility with your schedule, we'd love to have your support!  Julie and Matt will be rolling in at the last minute, but perhaps those interested could meet up at Blue Line and ride over from there at 1:45? 

We can't wait to begin collaborating with Carlos, and he is already planning on attending this month's Omaha Bikes meeting on September 14.  (Another date to mark on your calendar!) 

Spread the word - this is going to be a great day for cycling in Omaha!!
