|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning transportation.
|
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 | | Section 5. The Bikeway Act is amended by changing Section 1 |

|
| 7 | | Sec. 1. Legislative declarations and findings. The
The |
| 8 | | General Assembly
declares
that since a third of the population |
| 9 | | owns
bicycles, there is an urgent need for safe bikeways, for |
| 10 | | the use of both
children and adults for transportation, healthy |
| 11 | | exercise and recreation. |
| 12 | | The General Assembly finds that to coordinate plans for |
| 13 | | bikeways most
effectively with those of the State and local |
| 14 | | governments as they affect
roads, streets, schools, parks, and |
| 15 | | other publicly owned lands, lands not
owned by a municipality, |
| 16 | | local unit of government, county, or the State of
Illinois or |
| 17 | | one of its agencies or authorities by agreement, abandoned
|
| 18 | | roadbeds and conservation areas, while maximizing the benefits |
| 19 | | from the use
of tax dollars, a single State agency, eligible to |
| 20 | | receive federal matching
funds, should be designated to |
| 21 | | establish and maintain a State-wide bikeways
program.
