To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Barry Bernstein, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Use of Municipal Parking Lot
The City of Hastings Parks and Recreation Department is working with a local bicycle shop, The Route, and the
Sierra Club on this event. I am seeking City Council authorization to utilize the parking lot just east of Sibley
Street for a staging area from 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM on Sunday, May 31, 2009.
CITYCYCLEDESCRIPTION
Hastings Parks & Recreation and The Route will be teaching both adults and children steps of conducting a pre-
ride check. During City Cycle, participants will learn how to check many different components of their bike
properly. Once bikes are adjusted, riders are encouraged to ride along on a family friendly trail ride to explore a
portion of the City of Hastings trails. This event is free and riders have the option of purchasing the proper tools
for the event during the pre-registration period. The Sierra Club will be on hand to provide information on
bicycle commuting and transportation choices. Riders will also receive a goody bag with coupons and other
information. Pre-registration is suggested.
This event is a tremendous promotion for our trails and a fantastic opportunity for individuals to learn to care
for their bikes properly.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact my office.
Thank you!
