Update December 2nd, 2011. We beat the bike ban. It failed in a 3-2 vote at De Soto City Council. Read more…
The town of De Soto, KS is on the verge of re-instating its recently lifted bicycle ban on 83rd Street. Please act now to oppose the ban and show your support for bicycling in western Johnson County.
Barely two months ago the city lifted the long standing bike ban on a street that is the main bike connection to the rest of the metro area and popular route to Lawrence, KS. Last month the City Council was presented with a petition with 300 signatures demanding the reinstatement of the bike ban.
City Council Meeting
Thursday, December 1st, 7:00 p.m.
De Soto City Hall
The City Council will consider reinstating the bike on Thursday. Please try to attend, but first sign our counter-petition and send a strong message to the De Soto City Council. We especially need the signatures of people who live and work in De Soto, so forward this to your friends and colleagues.
