Can you spare a few moments to take my survey?

If you’re like most Santa Monicans, you’ve ridden a bike in town for commuting, errands, or just a good sweat. You may not know that the City is ranked as a Silver-level Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists. The City has recently reapplied to achieve a higher rating in honor of how far we’ve come in the past few years, which includes the continued build-out of the bike network, the launch of Breeze Bike Share, the opening of the Colorado Esplanade and the Expo line bike path, and the forthcoming California Incline offering a new bike connection to the beach. As part of the vetting process, the League is soliciting comments about biking in Santa Monica via this online survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SantaMonicaBFC. Please take a moment and fill it out! The survey closes on September 15, 2016 at Midnight Pacific Time.

Please take the survey titled "BFC Public Survey - Fall 2016". Your feedback is important!
