Applicants wanted for new Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee

Press Release - May 1, 2007

The Town of Fairfax is forming an ad-hoc Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC). The BPAC’s charge will be to assist with coordinating the County-wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update with respect to Fairfax. In addition, the BPAC will work collaboratively with San Anselmo and San Rafael to ensure a seamless and coordinated East-West corridor plan for bicyclists and pedestrians.

The time commitment to the BPAC will run concurrent with the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update, anticipated through December 2007. It is expected that one meeting would be held per month, for approximately two hours in duration.

The BPAC shall consist of five members of the Fairfax community. Applicants should be residents of the Town of Fairfax, registered to vote, and self-identified cyclists and/or pedestrians. Application should be made by completing at Town Commission and Committee application form (available on the Town’s website on the Boards and Commissions page at www.townoffairfax.org) and from the Town Clerk, 458-2343, and submitting it to the Town of Fairfax no later than Friday, May 18, 2007. Appointments will be made by the Town Council on May 23, 2007.
