Hi, all. As has been discussed in other threads here, Phoenix Bikes is very much in need of a new location/building, and tonight there is a community public hearing for the new building location. The meeting will be at Arlington Parks and Recreation building’s conference center at 2700 S Taylor St 22206 at 7pm. This is the second public meeting, and Phoenix Bikes could use your public support.
It’s my understanding that the first public meeting about this was attended by *many* Concord Mews folks (property adjacent to the proposed site) and they greatly outnumbered the 13 kids/staff from Phoenix Bikes. The Concord Mews folks were described to me as “livid.” While I understand coming to a meeting with concerns, outright opposition isn’t at all justified. I think that Arlington would be well served if we could attend and speak out on behalf of 1) the benefits of the Phoenix Bike program, 2) the benefits of being located at Walter Reed Drive and Four Mile Run (right off trail, near schools where PB kids go, serves surrounding community, etc.).
I know it’s late notice but it would be of great service not just to Phoenix Bikes, but to cycling in the area as a whole, if you could make the time for this tonight.
Thanks.
