Bicycle Safety Ordinance Cover Letter <br /> April 16,2012 <br /> Page 2 <br /> which consist of 13.8 miles of"multi-purpose paths separated from streets"; 16.4 miles of striped <br /> bake lanes; and 29.7 miles of"other designated on-street routes". <br /> We are also attaching brochures used in the City of Indianapolis, which have a similar ordinance <br /> regulation as the one we are proposing. One brochure is entitled "Share the Road" and sets forth <br /> safety tips for bicyclists & motorists, as well as a summary of ordinances & rules. Another <br /> brochure is entitled "Indy Bikeways" which provide tips on "sharing the road". The last <br /> Indianapolis brochure attached is a Q & A on various bicycle markings and safety tips. I have also <br /> provided a copy of a 2-page brochure sponsored by the Indiana State Police entitled "Bicycle <br /> Safety" <br /> We would anticipate that a similar educational campaign would take place in South Bend. We <br /> believe that there must be a greater awareness of safety tips through PSAs and brochures posted on <br /> the City's website for both bicyclists and motorists. As more people of all ages are biking, making <br /> our city a"bicycle friendly community" should continue to be a top priority, <br /> We look forward to talking about this topic with you further. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Gavin Ferlic <br /> Council Member at Large <br /> Council Member Tim Scott <br /> 1 st District Council Member <br /> Council President Derek D.
