Tour of the Wichitas…..Friends of the Trail

3-2-09

HELLO EVERYONE!

We had an excellent meeting in February and have decided to skip March and have our next meeting April 2^nd. This will be a wrap up meeting for our Tour of the Wichitas, which will be on May 2^nd.

I did have a few odds and ends to let you know. It seems that the Bikeways that will be from Cache to the Refuge gate have been help up because of a paperwork mix up with DOT. I spoke to Paul Fisher and also Rich Andrews with DOT and they have assured me that the missing report has been received and they can move forward on this.

Rich Andrews also said the DOT should make a decision on funding for the first section of the Lawton Bikeway sometime in June or July of this year. He was optimistic that we would receive the $400,000 grant that will help fund the bike trail which will start around Cameron University.

The weather is finally getting decent, so I’ll see you on your bike!

Have a great month!
