AGENDA TITLE: Presentation of Proclamation Proclaiming May as "Bike Month" and May 24, 2018
as "Bike to Work Day" in Lodi
MEETING DATE: May 2, 2018
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Presentation of proclamation proclaiming May as "Bike Month" and
May 24, 2018 as "Bike to Work Day" in Lodi.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: National Bike Month is a call to action for people across the nation
to try bicycling to work and school, and for leisure activities, instead
of driving. Bicycling improves air quality and rider health, and it
reduces congestion on roadways. During the month of May, the City and various employers throughout
Lodi will encourage their employees to bike to work.
On May 24, 2018, a community "Bike to Work Day" event will be held in the pedestrian walkway adjacent
to Woolworth Plaza (115 South School Street) from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. The event is open to all
members of the community. Representatives from San Joaquin Council of Governments, San Joaquin
Bicycle Coalition, Bike Lodi, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, and Lodi's Bike Shop will be
present. Free bike safety checks, bike commute information, snacks, coffee, and free handouts will be
available.
A representative from Bike Lodi will be present to accept the proclamation.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
