SECTION E: BICYCLE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY APPLICATION UPDATE
Commissioners Pique and Reinhardt worked on this section and identified several questions and discussion items.
• Commissioner Reinhardt asked whether funding is available for BPAC members to attend a League Cycling Instructor (LCI) Certification Seminar in order to have a League Cycling Educator within the community. Commissioners agreed that attending such training would strengthen the application. Liaison Hernandez-Galvan stated there isn’t anything allocated in the budget this current fiscal year, but she would review whether this or other training course could be budgeted for in future years, similar to the Ride Illinois Conference, which occurs every four years.
• Commissioner Griffin attends the Chicagoland Area Bicycle Dealers Association, (CABDA) and Camber trade shows, which include bicycle-related presentations and training opportunities.
• Commissioner Pique asked when the City of Warrenville Bikeway Implementation Phase II Plan was last reviewed. Liaison Hernandez-Galvan responded that the plan was adopted in 2010 and has been reviewed periodically over the years. The City will formally reevaluate the plan in FY27, and BPAC will assist in reviewing whether project priorities should be adjusted.
• Commissioner Pique inquired about the bike and pedestrian survey that appeared in Warrenville Hometown Happenings. Liaison Hernandez-Galvan explained that she worked with the City’s Communications Coordinator, but they were unable to locate the survey questions. Discussion followed regarding the need for stronger promotion of surveys by engaging residents at community events. Commissioners suggested creating a new survey to coincide with the Bike Rodeo, using a QR code to encourage in-person participation and community feedback.
WARRENVILLE BIKE RODEO 2026
• Spring Fling will take place at Johnson Elementary School on Saturday, April 25, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Liaison Hernandez-Galvan suggested having at least three BPAC members present to promote BPAC activities, as the table was heavily visited in previous years and served as strong promotion for the Bike Rodeo. Event organizers requested a raffle prize. Commissioners Pique and Griffin indicated they would attend.
• Liaison Hernandez-Galvan reported that the Fire Department is developing e-bike safety materials. BPAC will also be able to distribute free educational materials from the Ride Illinois and IDOT websites.
• Liaison Hernandez-Galvan shared that Pedalheads has agreed to attend this year’s Bike Rodeo and will provide a helmet safety demonstration at their table.
• Liaison Hernandez-Galvan reported that the Illinois Prairie Path organization reached out and expressed interest in attending the Bike Rodeo.
• Commissioner Griffin will send shirt design ideas to Liaison Hernandez-Galvan prior to the next meeting. Shirt costs have increased, with 100 shirts estimated at $850.
• Commissioner Kasprowicz asked whether there are sufficient supplies of bike lights and bells.
• Liaison Hernandez-Galvan stated she will contact organizations that have regularly participated in the Bike Rodeo, including Recycled Cycling. While Recycled Cycling donated lights and bells last year, donations cannot be assumed for this year. Updates on available items will be provided at the next meeting.
