I thought some folks might be interested in the brief remarks the mayor made about bikes in the "must read" link below.

Last night he went the Economic Development Commission to talk about it further. this is a must read for neighborhood leaders<http://www.forwardlookout.com/2010/06/mayor-economic-development-committee-and-development-process.html>. This is very important for the development process and the neighborhood role in that process. The business community including Smart Growth Madison (developers), Downtown Madison Inc, the Chamber of Commerce, lobbyist Bill White (not sure if he's working with and on behalf of DMI or not) and a separate group of developers that Paul Skidmore works with all have their private sessions and input, but there looks like there is little to no discussion about how to get input from neighborhoods, Plan Commission or the Urban Design Commission. Vicky Selkowe attempted to get that in there, but they left without a plan. And, to add insult to injury, they hope to get this all wrapped up over the summer, by Labor Day. Depending upon what the recommendations are, this could be a big change for neighborhoods and it is definitely something to pay attention to.
