Oak Cliff Chamber Luncheon: Trolley’s & Trails to the Trinity!

The Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce, and the Alternative Transportation Subcommittee (of which, many BFOC members are involved), is holding a panel discussion and luncheon on February 26th, at the Oak Cliff Country Club. The honorable City Council Woman, Angel Hunt, will be one of the guest speakers talking about the new bike lane plans for Dallas. The official press release is below:

Trolleys & Trails to the Trinity

The Chamber’s Alternative Transportation Committee re-examines the
established Dallas practice of “highways now, highways tomorrow,
highways forever.” The ATC Chamber Luncheon will feature a panel
discussion of multi-modal transportation practices that have the
potential to link developing Oak Cliff trail, trolley, and bike networks into
larger Dallas Trinity and downtown networks. The panel will focus not
only on the known recreational opportunities ped and bike trails
provide, but how to create a trail network that provides a feasible
alternative for work, shopping, and other traditionally exclusive car
activities.

Panel:

Honorable Angelia Hunt – Discussing the new bike lanes connecting North Dallas to Dowtown
Alan McDonald, Incap – Discussing Incap’s developments with the pedestrian oriented focus via the trolley
Shelly White, Trinity Strand – Discussing the Trinity bike/ped trails into the park system and beyond

The luncheon will begin at 11:30AM. Speaking will begin at 12PM. Each speaker will have 10 minutes, then a Q&A session will follow. Door fee (which includes meal) is $25 for OC Chamber members, $35 for non-members.
