BACA Meeting - April 8, 6:30 P.M. @ U.S. Pizza HillcrestIMPORTANT - Let's make our voices heard. Come to the April 8th BACA meeting, 6:30 p.m. at U.S. Pizza in Hillcrest (2710 Kavanaugh Blvd). Our special guest will be Arkansas Highway and Transportation Commission Robert Moore
LET’S HAVE A HUGE TURNOUT. Showing Mr. Moore and the Arkansas Highway Commission that there is a large community of support for bicycling in Arkansas is crucial if bicyclists are to have a seat at the table when the Highway Commission considers policies and allocates resources that could affect bicycling. Please save the date of Tuesday, April 8 to hear Mr. Moore talk about how bicyclists can develop a good working relationship with the Highway Commission and also learn a bit about the exciting Delta Heritage Trail. You can order your food ahead of time if you'd like. Just call in a carry-out order, then pick up the food and bring it upstairs to the meeting. We hope to see you there!
