Bikeway Master Plan By Kevin Cochran On October 28, the College Station City Council will vote on the Bikeway Master Plan immediately following a public hearing at City Hall Council Chambers beginning at 7 p.m. Freebirds World Burrito and the Texas Bicycle Coalition will make statements and present lists of names of those who support bikeways in C.S. Our goal is twofold: to provide the City Council with 2,000 or more signatures and to have at least 50 supporters attend the hearing. By adopting the Bikeway Master Plan designed by city transpor tation officials. College Station will be entitled to apply for more than $1 million in federal funding for bikeways. Upon funding, the city will develop a continuous loop of bike lanes, routes, and paths linking the University with residential, commercial, and entertainment areas. Wolf Pen Creek ampitheater complex, and local schools. Why is Freebirds taking such an active stance on this particular issue? In addition to the need for business environmental and social responsibility, and the chance to enhance life for A&M students, the two-restaurant chain was founded in Isla Vista, California (adjacent to U.C. Santa Barbara), where 80% of students use bicycles as their primary means of transportation. The experience of working in a bike town has helped Freebirds people understand the positive effects of using bicycles in place of automobiles. In fact, a bike-thru window will be introduced soon at Freebirds in California. Driving motor vehicles creates more air pollution than any other human activity. Thirteen-trillion cubic yards of motor vehicle exhaust is annually thrust into the air we breathe, ultimately poisoning our crops, destroying our forests, and harming us humans. For every gallon of Hundreds of bikes are parked next to a dorm in Isla Vista, California, the student town of U.C. Santa Barbara. Over I 1,000 residents use bicycles as their primary means of transportation in the town of 14,000. gasoline our automobiles burn, twenty pounds of carbon dioxide is spewed into the air, along with nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and others. Motor vehicle pollution is so catastrophic in cities such as Rome, Athens, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, and Budapest, that bans on operating motor vehicles are commonplace. Clearly something is wrong when two-thirds of the land area of Los Angeles is dedicated to roadways and parking. Here in Texas, we have our own problems: the highest emissions of nitrogen oxides in the country at over two times the California levels (the next highest state). Further, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Beaumont/Port Arthur, and El Paso have harmful motor vehicle ozone emission levels, and San Antonio, Austin and Corpus [FREEBIRDS BBSBHil burrito 319 UNIVERSITY DRIVE, NORTHGATE Christi are in danger of being added to the list. Could College Station be next? We must look beyond the entrenched modes of trans portation and endorse alternative transport systems, like bikeways, that provide for easy and safe mobility, while not harming our environment or sapping our economy. City engineers have to design for shared roadways, and both motorists and bicyclists must learn to respect each other. Another reason to endorse bikeways is the concern for safety. Every year in this country approximately one-half million people are admitted to a hospital emergency room and over 1,000 people die due to bicycle-related accidents. In Texas, there are at least 50 bicycle fatalities per year. Considering the health and fitness benefits of bicycling, once bicycle travel is made safer and more efficient with the develop ment of planned bikeways, we can all breathe a little easier. So vote . today at Freebirds World Burrito for the C.S. Bikeway Master Plan. PAID ADVERTISEMENT Page 10 The Battalion Thursday, October28,1® Tubularman By Boomer Cardinali VJe iNTcrofr Tmi.
