012 Bicycle Safety in March. Wqrich was elected chairmarl of the historic panel.

Bicycle Coalition President Noel Weyrich has been

elected
chairman
of
Philadelphia's first-ever
Mayor's Task Force on
Bicycle Safety.
The task force met for the
first time March 3 1 to start
organizing its agenda. Coalition Executive Director Sue
McNamara was voted to
head an "action" subcommittee to deal with pressing
city cycling issues while Jim
Castellan of the Freedom
Valley Bike Ride will lead
the "vision" subcomn~ittee

to formulate a slate of recommendations to Mayor Ed

Rendell.
The task force was born
out of a commitment Rendell made to the Bicycle
Coalition during the 199 1
campaign. It is considered a
major step forward in the
fight for better, safer bicycling amenities.
Other task force members
include Paul Winkfield, Barbara Dalvano and Tom Witt
from the Bicycle Club of

After Protest, PennDOT Considers Betzwood Alternatives

In the wake of a peaceful
demonstration Feb. 6 during
which two Coalition officers
were arrested, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation now appears ready
to provide bicycle and
pedestrian routes across the
Schuylkill River while i t
replaces the Betzwood
Bridge at Valley Forge
National Park.
A Feb. 24 meeting
between Coalition members
and high-level PennDOT
officials in Harrisburg has
persuaded key decisionmakers that providing no access
at Betzwood during several
years of construction would
be a mistake.

by Noel Weyrich
(This is a revised versiotl
of a column that appeared
in the March -April 1992
Cyclegram, updated for
those who halve
joirled since
then.)
A year ago,
when the Bicycle Coalition
had a mere 500
dues-paying
members, I
expressed a
dream of how
bicycle-friendly the region
might become if we had
2,000 members.
Today, we have 1,200
members, and our annual
outreach mailing this month
should attract an additional
300. Just a dream a year
ago, the 2,000-member
level is now in sight.
This rapid growth works
a simple and powerful
magic. Each time a new
member joins, the value of
everyone else's membership
increases exponentially.
That's because a growing
membership serves a variety of functions, creating a
whole far greater than the
sum of the parts.
First, the steady growth
in income provides us with
the paid professional assistance we need to reach new
members, serve current
members, steward new programs and coordinate advocacy efforts. We do more
now because we can. And
our accomplishments attract
new members.
A second benefit of
membership growth is the
power generated when we
speak out on a single issue.
Our postcard canlpaigns, for
instance, have been amazingly effective. On every

issue for which we've

issued a postcard in the
past two years, we have
either won outright or continue to see steady
progress.
Third, as
membership
grows, our
volunteer base
continues to
deepen and
expand. Many
of our most
effective and
valuable volunteers are fairly new to
the Coalition, including,
for instance, the attorney
defending our Betzwood
Bridge case.
Finally, numbers constitute political influence. In
meetings with city, regional and state officials to
advocate our causes, I
have seen a steady climb
in attentiveness and faster
response as the Coalition
membership has risen
from 150 to 500, and then
to 1,200.
Which brings me back
to the dream about 2,000
members. Two thousand
members will financially
sustain a professional staff
and office. Two thousand
members will knock out
phenomenal postcard campaigns. Two thousand
members will expand our
reach, perhaps through
county and workplace
coordinating committees
throughout the region.
And, frankly. 2.000 members can gain respect from
any politician or bureaucrat in the region.
That's what's on the line
for your 1993 membership.
It's not the kind of fun
you'll want to miss.

State Weighs
Bicycle Access
At Betzwood
(Co~ltinued
from p.1)
"PennDOT is an evolving
institution." Coalition President Noel Weyrich said.
"The willingness of top
brass to sit down and reconsider past decisions proves
that. The coming months
will see our relationship continue to grow more cooperative
and
less
confrontational."
At press time, PennDOT
was considering installing a
shuttle van and trailer for
cyclists during the coming
year, with a small cableguided river ferry to take
over the function next
spring. The small ferry
would then continue operation until the new Betzwood
Bridge is completed in 1996
or 1997. Although the Coalition continues to have grave
concerns about the shuttle
van (it seems destined to be
stuck in traffic when commuter cyclists need it most),
Weyrich said he'll reserve

judgment until PennDOT

provides a formal proposal.
'The highway safety people are totally opposed to
squeezing a barricaded bike
and pedestrian path onto the
422 Bridge, but that would
seem to be the cheapest,
most logical solution," says
Weyrich. PennDOT will not
discuss re-opening the old
Betzwood Bridge, he added.

Weyrich and Coalition

executive director Sue
McNarnara were expected to

action at an April 14 hearing
before District Magistrate
Ester Castillo in East Norriton Township Building.

Help Needed to Make Bike-to-Work Day Work

Bike-to-Work Day is
coming to downtown
Philadelphia, and the Coalition is putting out an allpoints bulletin for spirited
volunteers to help make the
day a success.
The Coalition will join
with the Center City District
and Corestates Financial
Corp. to promote June 2 as
"Bike-to-Work Day" and
"Center City: Make it a
Night."
Details were pending at
press time, but the Coalition
hopes to get a proclamation
from Mayor Rendell urging
employers to permit workers
to dress down and bring

their bicycles indoors that

day. "Commuter Convoys"
led by city political leaders
and media personalities will

where coffee and donuts will
be served.
The Coalition will need
volunteers that morning to
help coordinate these and

other activities.
"We really need Coalition
members who work for
major employers downtown
to help coordinate corporate
competitions on who has the
most riders that day," Coalition Executive Director Sue
McNamara said. "Allthe big
employers have trip reduction coordinators now to
comply with the Clean Air
Act. This is the perfect
opportunity to educate
employers about how bicycle commuters can help
them meet their auto trip
reduction goals."

sent Weyrich and McNamara at the hearing.

Daly explains that
because the "Betzwood
Two" cut open the bridge
fencing in the belief it would
provide the public with a
safer river crossing than the
422 Bridge, their actions fail
to meet the legal definition
of "criminal mischief' and
"disorderly conduct."

With PATCO Bike-on-Rail in the Bag, Coalition Forges Ahead

Next Step: Better Parking at Train Stations and More Access to River Bridges
Having convinced the
Port Authority Transit Corp.
to adopt a bike-on-rail program, the Coalition is pushing for better bike parking
facilities and access to
Delaware River bridges.
The Coalition has written
PATCO's parent agency, the
Delaware River Port Authority, requesting that the
authority permit access
across four Delaware River
bridges and to improve bicycle parking facilities at
PATCO stations.
The letter asks that DRPA
use newly available federal
transportation funding to:
Upgrade bicycle racks
and install rental lockers at
PATCO stations. Fifty bike
lockers, for example, would
displace only five automobile parking spaces and
would provide PATCO with
9,000 additional round-trips

Center City Bike Patrol's Success Spawns Talk of Expanding

The Philadelphia Police Departmetrr's Bicycle Patrol has beet1 a solid success.

Coalition Starting New Project Aimed at Laws

Volunteers Needed to Help Devise, Push Legislative Goals
The Bicycle Coalition is
set to begin work on an
important new project aimed
at passing better roadway
safety standards.
The Coalition will begin
work on its first-ever Pemsylvania Legislative Program
at the June 1 meeting of the
Advocacy Committee at

6:30 p.m. in the offices of

Clean Water Action, 15 18

Regional Planning Commission

Drafting Bicycle Mobility Plan
The staff of the Delaware
Valley Regional Planning
Commission is now at work
identifying and mapping the
Interim Bicycle Mobility
Plan for the region's five
southeastern Pennsylvania
counties.
A draft of the plan is due
this month, and the finalized
draft is scheduled to be
completed by June 30. The
plan will frame the issues
and direction for the final

bicycle and pedestrain plan,

due June 30, 1994.
Why all the planning?
Because nothing ever gets
built until it appears as a part
of a con~prehensiveregional plan. The Coalition
sucessfully lobbied DVRPC
last year to go ahead with an
interim plan for this year, so
that a number of large projects nearing final design
would not go ahead without
bicycle-friendly provisions.

roads. Local police are forbidden to use radar for speed

enforcement, the state has no
"driving school" provision
for repeat traffic offenders,
all traffic citations bear an
easy-to-evade two-year
statute of limitations and
leaving the scene of an accident is still a misdemeanor.
Our legislative agenda
might also borrow successful bicycle legislation from
other states: Voluntary bicycle registration, minimum
bike parking standards at
workplaces, repeal of the
mandatory sidepath law and
a mandated percentage of
state highway funds diverted to finance a state bicycle
office.
Some of these provisions
may take years to enact, others might be surprisingly
easy. However long the journey, it all begins with a single step: the June 1 meeting
of the Coalition Advocacy
Committee.

The Center City policeon-bikes program is a solid

success, according to the
newsletter of the Center City
special services district.
Since last August, the four
bicycle patrol officers have
responded to more than 590
radio calls and made about
40 arrests.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Neal has
approved the pilot program
and funds for more bike
patrols are being sought.
The South Street area,
where merchants are developing the city's second special services district, is now
said to be close to initiating
and cops-on-bikes patrol.
Ironically, it was just eight
years ago that the police and
merchants nearly secured a
weekend bike bat1 on South
Street. We've come a long
way since then!
Coalition member Gihon
Jordan worked with police
for more than a year to
develop the program, He
also helped train the officers
for their duties.
The Camden Police
Department in South Jersey
also recently began a bike
patrol pilot program.
Police-on-bike supporters
cite many advantages: faster
response time in congested
areas, better access to alleys.
parks and plazas, better
interaction with the public,
wider coverage than foot
patrols and quieter approaches to surprise criminals.
Police also cite eceonomic benefits: they can outfit
between 15 and 20 officers
on bikes for the cost of one
police car.
Philadelphia is one of
about 400 U.S. cities with
police on bikes.
