Doing so entails 1) Engineering of streets to include bicycle facilities (lanes, sharrows, etc) and to expand paved trail networks; 2) Educational efforts to help bicyclists and motorists learn to share the road; 3) Enforcement efforts to ensure that bicyclists and motorists both know and obey the rules of the road; 4) Encouraging the citizens of Conway to increase bicycling through events; and 5) Evaluating our progress in responding to the needs of bicyclists in our community.
