Film Screening, Discussion and Advisory Committee Meeting on Monday, March 7 in Arlington

Wouldn't it be great to have the kind of bike facilities that can be found in many parts of Europe right here in the DC area?  Local jurisdictions like DC and Arlington are improving their facilities all the time, but there's still a long way to go.

Next Monday, March 7, the Arlington County Bicycle Advisory Committee will be hosting a film screening of the 2009 SCAN tour of Europe that was sponsored by AASHTO (the American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials), FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) and NCHRP (the National Cooperative Highway Research Program).

You are invited!  Please come, see the 45-minute film and participate in a follow up discussion afterward.  Here are the details:

Date:  Monday, March 7, 2011
Time: 6:30 PM - gathering & snacks; 7:00 PM - film screening; 8:00 PM - discussion
Location: Arlington Central Library - 1015 N. Quincy Street (map)

Who should come:  Everyone! Especially bicyclists, pedestrians, bicyclist wannabes, planners and those interested in transportation and urban design.  Feel free to RSVP at our Facebook event page; it will help us plan, but it's not necessary in order to attend.

Everyone is also invited to join the Arlington Bicycle Advisory Committee afterward, about 9:00, at Carpool for our regular monthly meeting.  Arlington BAC meetings are open to anyone, and all are welcome.
