Sharrows help point the way for cyclists- Missoula sets transportation workshops and dinner
Sharrows debuted in Missoula on South Third Street pavement last week, prompting applause from the bike community and curiosity from onlookers.
Share-what?
They’re 10-foot-long painted symbols of arrows over a bike, indicating that motorists share the road with cyclists. On Third Street between Orange and Higgins, they appear at the beginning of each block.
“The city has adopted sharrows as our symbols for bike routes,” said Public Works director Steve King.

Missoula sets transportation workshops
Three mid-November workshops have been scheduled as part of what’s being called the Envision Missoula – 2008 Long Range Transportation Plan Update process.
The public is invited to participate as determinations are made how hundreds of millions of dollars might be spent for new roads, transit and trails over the coming decades.
All three workshops will take place in the North Ballroom of the University Center on the University of Montana campus.
They are scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m. Nov. 13 and 14, and 3 to 6 p.m. Nov. 15.

If you have an interest in biking and walking projects, there will be a dinner this Saturday night from 6:30-8 pm at Missoula Children’s Theater hosted by the new Bike/Walk Alliance for Missoula (BWAM).
It will be inexpensive (actually free for BWAM members) and an open forum with big maps to identify key biking and walking improvements you think could be made.
