Auburn accomplishes this by adding and maintaining bike lanes each year, sponsoring the Bicycle Bash bike rally, providing bike racks around town, and similar projects. Mayor Ham has signed such a proclamation. Auburn City Council appointed the Auburn Bicycle Committee and named Jeff Ramsey, the Director of Public Works, to be the city's Bicycle Coordinator. Community provides bicycle-safety instruction in schools, stressing bicycle handling skills and the wearing of helmets. The Civitan club provides the funds to buy bicycles and helmets needed for the program.
Community encourages and supports bicycling activities.
In May 2000, the City sponsors the first annual Bicycle Bash with the cooperation of city departments including Parks and Recreation, Public Works, Police Department, and the Bicycle Committee. Community publishes bicycling information, identifying suggested routes and stressing safety. In 1999, the City and the Bicycle Committee published a brochure with a map and such information. The brochure is distributed on a continuing basis. Community provides public and encourages private bicycle parking facilities.
