PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Presentation of proclamation proclaiming May 13-17, 2013, as "Bike
to Work Week" in Lodi.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: National Bike to Work Week is a call to action for commuters to try
bicycling to work rather than driving. Bicycling improves air quality
and rider health, and it reduces congestion on roadways. On
Tuesday, May 7, 2013, a representative from San Joaquin Council of Governments' Commute
Connection will have a booth available at City Hall, and employees and residents may obtain information
about biking to work in our community. Various employers throughout Lodi will also be participating in
Bike to Work Week.
Michael Caponio, Executive Director of the San Joaquin Bicycle Coalition, will be present to accept the
proclamation.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
