Final hearing tonight for $1 million C.S. bikeways
Vote today at Freebirds World Burrito for the C.S. 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

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

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.
