All bicycle riders and trail users that travel in and through the City of Wheaton should attend a mtg. on 6/9 at 7PM to help create Wheaton's bike plan.

 

 WHEATON, Ill. – Wheaton officials want to hear what you think would make your community more bicycle-friendly. Attend a public meeting at 7 p.m. June 9 in the Gamon Room of City Hall, 303 W. Wesley St., to tell them where you are already biking and where you wish you could bike.

City officials are particularly interested learning about common roads used for cycling in the city and potential bicycling programs that the city could establish.

All Wheaton residents are invited to attend. This is your chance to help shape Wheaton's first bike plan.

Representative from the Wheaton Environmental Improvement Commission, various City departments, the Wheaton Park District, DuPage County Forest Preserve District and Community Unit School District 200 have formed a task force to develop the Wheaton Bike Plan.
