Public Meeting about Russell Street
Time: 6:00 PM
Location: Franklin School Gym
Description: The preferred alternative will be unveiled at this meeting. Initial rumor says that the project will be a 4 or 5 lane facility with sidewalks and bike lanes. Many residences would be removed, traffic speeds would increase, and other transportation improvements will be put on hold for the rest of the community due to the high cost of this proposal.

The Missoula Institute for Sustainable Transportation, The Associated Students of The University of Montana, Missoula Advocates for Sustainable Transportation, BWAM (Bike Walk Alliance for Missoula) – all support a 3 lane project with single lane roundabouts, sidewalks, bike lanes and trail undercrossings – particularly from Third to Mount - to preserve community and make transportation options possible.

BWAM's Ride of Silence
As part of National Bike Month, BWAM is coordinating a Ride of Silence in Missoula. In 2007, rides occurred in 272 cities in 50 states and 15 countries. The Ride of Silence was begun in 2003 and has three primary goals: to honor those who have been injured or killed by motor vehicles while cycling, running or walking on public roadways; to raise awareness that cyclists and pedestrians are here; and to promote the concept that all road users must share the road and take responsibility for safety. 

The Missoula Ride of Silence, which is free for all participants, will take place on Wednesday, May 21st, meeting at Caras Park in downtown Missoula at 6:45 p.m. for a slow-paced, short, easy ride to roll out at 7:00. The ride is approximately four miles, will involve riding short distances on Higgins, 5th Street, Russell and Broadway, and asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 10-12 mph. Riders must wear bike helmets and obey all traffic controls, and will be asked to sign a waiver before the ride begins. Anyone interested in safe cycling in and around Missoula is welcome and encouraged to attend. 

The event is being coordinated by the Bike/Walk Alliance of Missoula (BWAM), a non-profit, member-driven organization created to improve the safety, health and enjoyment of the Five Valley area by promoting and enhancing bicycling and walking for everyday transportation and recreation. National Bike Month is coordinated by The League of American Bicyclists, with the goal of promoting the importance of bike safety and encouraging more awareness of cyclists on city streets and other roadways.

More information about the Ride of Silence in general can be found at www.rideofsilence.org. 
Contact: Monica LaBarge for more information about the local ride.
