agree that both parks and transportation should work together on this project. During the upcoming
2016/2017 budget process, a program request for a formal plan will be submitted for consideration in
the budget. The Parks and Recreation Board and the Georgetown Transportation Board will both be
involved in the plan, as well as members of the biking community. In the City's overall transportation

plan. This is the next step in that plan.
