I attended the South Jersey Transportation Planning Organizations (SJTPO) yearly public open forum last night, 6/26/7. I was the only person there, except for the organizer, his counterpart, and a representative from the NJ DOT.
I got to list 9 area specific issues and included LAB's listing of $600 million dollars allocated for bicycle/pedestrian projects in America (they were not aware of) being sent back into the pot due to misrepresentation (not being asked for).

My point here is singular:
we won't make changes happen for bicycle inclusion on our roads (or trails) without representation. we need to be at the township/community/region meetings and represent our issues. Good job to those who already go to the meetings and represent. for others, if you can, go and make some noise!
