The Fiscal Year 2014-2015 Performance Oversight Hearings schedule has been released and the Committee on Transportation and the Environment, chaired by Council member Mary M. Cheh (Ward 3), has placed the D.C. Bicycle Advisory Council on the docket. This hearing gives residents an opportunity testify about bicycling in the District.
The hearing is tentatively scheduled to begin 11:00am on Friday, March 6, 2014 in Room 412 in the John A. Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. Also scheduled are the Pedestrian Advisory Council and the District Department of Transportation (DDOT).
The purpose of the Performance Oversight Hearings are to allow the Council to ask questions regarding the current operations of District agencies, committees, and other government organizations. The Council looks at current fiscal year operations, which began October 1, 2014, as well as operations during the previous year.
This hearing also provides a forum for residents to discuss bicycling-related issues before Council and the opportunity to ask DDOT questions about bicycle infrastructure or policy. Speaking before this committee is one of the more effective ways to ensure that your specific bicycling issues are addressed and facilitate the continued expansion of bicycling. If you do not which to testify, simply appearing in the gallery helps show the Council and the public how important bicycling has become for the District.
If you cannot testify or attend, please let us know what you think about the what District government has done for bicycling this year or what it should do in the current year in the comments section below. Feel free to use twitter (@DCBAC) (#BACHearing) or submit a written testimony.
