Bike Parking Funding Agreement
Associated Project(s):The goal of this project is to fund installation of bicycle parking facilities at the Undergraduate Library, the Ag. Sciences Engineering Building and Freer Hall.

Thus the students sustainability committee is in favor of funding the full requested amount of $10,600.
Gregory Drive from First Street to Dorner Drive
Associated Project(s):The parking was removed from Gregory Drive, and a continuous on-street bike lane was striped in both directions, in alignment with the CATS endorsement of complete streets. The old bike path near the sidewalk had striping removed.
