When it comes to conventional street design, the following four items are typically considered. How do you think these items should be prioritized?

Speed - Designing streets to move cars as quickly as possible

Volume - Designing streets to move as many cars as possible

Safety - Designing streets to minimize the risk of serious injury or death

Cost - Designing streets to minimize the amount of money spent on building and maintaining them

What we’ll do nextIn the next six months we will take the following actions to improve our work based on constituent feedback: 1. Increase diversityWe want our constituency to reflect the diversity of the St. Louis region. As we plan our 2016 calendar, we will expand our partnerships to include even more groups that represent people of color, the LGBTQ community, women, and younger residents. 2. Increase the effectiveness of our advocacyWe have already taken great strides to improve our advocacy in 2015 by increasing advocacy staffing and establishing a board committee. We will take further action by enhancing our communications through a featured section within our newsletter and establishing a constituent committee to shape our advocacy agenda. 3. Enhance the Quality of Bicycle Fun RidesTo enhance the rider experience, we will create a focus group and survey for BFC riders to give input into our 2016 calendar of rides.
