The order, isintended to further promote walkingand bicycling as safe, effectivealternatives to automobiletransportation, and to ensure Citytransportation projects fully planfor the variety of uses of publicrights of way over the long term.The executive order providesclear requirements and guidelinesfor the incorporation of bicycleand pedestrian ways into Cityroad construction and reconstructionprojects. The order alsoestablishes a Complete StreetsCommittee, consisting of theTransportation Director, PlanningDirector, City Engineer, and,where appropriate, the AirportDirector, to judge whether includingwalkways or bikeways ona given public right of way isproportionate to the projected useof the right of way by pedestriansand bicyclists.The document can be foundonline at cyclingutah.com/news/Completestreets.pdf.AdvocacyBike and Ped Safety?By Charles PekowState legislatures play a key rolein ensuring bicycle and pedestriansafety. Actions by state, local andfederal governments have madestreets safer for people to bike andwalk.Or so says the NationalConference of State Legislatures(NCSL) in an advisory to its members.Its new Transportation Review:Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety indicatesthat NCSL thinks its membersplay an important role in ensuringthe safety of bicyclists. But the datathe report provides indicate that statelegislatures are doing a lot moredebating and introducing of safetylegislation than actually implementingit.NCSL reported that last year,state legislatures considered nearly80 bicycle and pedestrian bills,though they passed far fewer. Manydeal with motorist responsibilities;another common topic involvedincreasing penalties for violatingrules.But the most common bicyclesafety issue that spurred (unsuccessful)legislation concerned helmetuse, NCSL reported. And for goodreason. Of the 782 bicyclists killedin the United States in 2005, 673were not wearing helmets, accordingto the National Highway TrafficSafety Administration.Twenty states, Puerto Rico andthe District of Columbia had previouslyenacted laws requiring someusers (most commonly juveniles)to wear helmets, according to theInsurance Institute for HighwaySafety. But Idaho, Utah, Coloradoand Wyoming had not, though.Ironically, though it proved a populartopic for legislative debate, nostate enacted a helmet law last year.(Data do not include local ordinances.)But a recent issue that some statelegislatures did succeed in passinglegislation around last year involvedthe nuisance of motorized scooterson the bikepaths. Colorado and sixother states have enacted legislationrestricting use of “toy bikes” or“pocket bikes.” As their popularityincreases, NCSL’s review suggests,state and municipal authorities “willwant to address” how they affectbicyclists and pedestrians.Another common topic involvedSafe Routes to Schools, efforts toencourage children to bike and walkto school safely. Several states hadsimilar legislation before passageof the 2005 federal SAFETEA-LUAct that offered each state at least$1 million. (In 2004, for instance,Colorado earmarked some of its federaltraffic safety funds for projectsaround schools.) But the federal law,obviously, provided a spur to states,which not only get the money butget considerable leeway in designingtheir own programs.But most states hadn’t figuredout yet exactly what to do withtheir Safe Routes money. Optionsrange from educating children aboutbicycle safety to designing safebike routes and promoting bikingand walking instead of getting aride in an auto to school. As of thisJanuary, 29 states were still figuringout what to do and only SouthDakota had made no effort. It’s stilltoo early to judge the effectivenessof these programs but the issue willremain popular as states continue tofigure out what to do and then do it,NCSL’s paper predicts.Road racingTour of Utah PostponedSALT LAKE CITY – The Board of Directors of the Tour of Utah bicyclerace announced today that this year’s event will be postponed.While enthusiasm and support for the Tour of Utah continues to be high,after several months of aggressive sales and marketing efforts, the managementteam was unable to secure the required level of sponsorship supportneeded to produce the multi-stage race they had planned. Based on initialfeedback from potential sponsors, the race organizers believe that postponingthe race will allow the time necessary to secure sufficient sponsor support toproduce the race.Chairman of the Board, Greg Miller, is hopeful that the combination of thenew management team assembled in January 2007, general interest fromthe business community and excitement from cyclists, will result in a strongcommunity event in the future.“In assessing our current staff, meeting personally with community stakeholdersand business leaders, and observing the Tour of California bicyclerace, I believe that we have the foundation in place to build a well-respectedand successful event,” Miller said. “We hit the ground running in January,and after getting up-to-speed, realized that we will better serve the communityby postponing this year’s race. We need to get an earlier start in orderto time our fundraising efforts with annual corporate budget cycles.”In connection with today’s announcement, Ted Wilson, Executive Director ofthe Tour of Utah, is stepping down to pursue other opportunities.“Ted did a great job getting us to where we are today,” Miller said. “We willmiss his leadership and wish Ted the very best in his endeavors.” A replacementwill be named in the near future.In addition, the Utah Sports Commission announced it will work with USACycling and Medalist Sports, LLC, one of the leading cycling event planners,to create and develop a broad-based, comprehensive cycling strategyfor the state of Utah, including the Tour of Utah.“This strategy will allow the state to explore cycling in greater detail to thebenefit of the sport and the Tour of Utah,” said Jeff Robbins, President andCEO of the Utah Sports Commission.
