Do you ride your bike in Shoreline? If so, the City of Shoreline wants to hear from you.
The City recently submitted an application to be certified as a Bike Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists. A vital last step in the evaluation of the application is hearing from our community about their perspective on cycling in Shoreline.
If you are familiar with biking in Shoreline, whether as a resident, worker, student, and/or commuter, please take 10 to 15 minutes to fill out a survey and help us become a Bike Friendly Community.
The survey closes Sunday, September 23.

The Bicycle Friendly Community certification process provides a benchmark for how well the City and its partners are supporting bicycling throughout Shoreline.

Perhaps more importantly, it provides a roadmap to improving conditions for bicycling and guidance to help make our community's vision for a better, bikeable community a reality. The certification process costs the City nothing. In fact, the completion of our application gave us points on two recent WSDOT grant applications.
Since the creation of the Bicycle Friendly Community program in 1995, there have been over 1,500 community applications processed by the League of American Bicyclists. There are currently 450 recognized Bicycle Friendly Communities and over 100 Honorable Mention communities. Washington State is recognized as the #1 bicycle friendly state in the country and has 17 Bike Friendly Communities.
