please thank the mayor and city council for bike/ped coordinator

One of the greatest hindrances faced by Spokane's bicycling advocates is that the powers-that-be, the mayor and city council, don't hear from cyclists about their concerns. Believe it or not, these people value input from those they are elected to serve. The adage that the squeaky wheel gets the grease is is very much in play when it comes to local politics.

Please, please, please contact the mayor and your city council representative and thank them for establishing and funding a bicycle/pedestrian coordinator for the city. Not only will they appreciate positive feedback for what they have done, but you will also make the cycling community more visible to them which will pay dividends in the future. You can thank them via postal mail, email or by making a phone call to their office where you may speak to them, their support staff, or you might leave a message of thanks. It's all good.
