Langley Area Cycling Coalition

A group of cycling advocates in Langley have recently formed a local chapter of the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition (VACC). The VACC is a very well-respected group of cyclists that advocate for cycling safety and improved conditions and infrastructure for cycling in the Lower Mainland. They have formed local chapters in various communities throughout Metro Vancouver, including Maple Ridge, Surrey/White Rock, and now also The Langleys.

The new Langley Area Cycling Coalition (LACC) had their most recent meeting last Tuesday, December 8, led by co-chairs Richard Edge and Dan Milsip. They told us about their initial meetings with the engineering staff from the City and the Township and the plans that our local governments have for developing cycling infrastructure in Langley. The governments are very eager and willing to work with the LACC, and the LACC is very eager and willing to represent Langley's cycling population.

In order for them to represent the local cycling community better, local cyclists (including you) need to come to LACC meetings. You can become a member if you want, but you are more than welcome to attend the meetings and give your input without becoming a member. Also, you can join their Yahoo Group for free, and join in the online conversation.

Cheers.
