LVBC and Operation Family Ties want to thank everyone involved (Volunteers, Sponsors, and Riders) who participated in this year's Round the Valley fundraising bicycle ride. Here is a quote from an email from one of the ride participants, it summarizes what took place. "I wanted to thank the bike club for organizing a wonderful ride today. Of course, the weather was ideal. But your road choices were excellent, the scenery was outstanding, the food was great, and all of your volunteers were friendly and helpful. Please express my appreciation to all who made the ride happen. This was one of the best rides I've ever taken." |

Two members presented before the committee in July and other members who live in the township shared their concerns and made suggestions. The three municipalities of South and North Londonderry Townships and Palmyra have recently completed their joint comprehensive plan.

Lebanon County Bicycle Transportation Map |
|
During the past nine months LVBC members developed a map that identifies roads that should provide good facilities for travel by bicycle. The County Planning Department (also our MPO) provided funding for the GIS department staff to produce the map. The "Map" was completed in August and then shared with PennDOT to determine if additional information can be included on the map. Thus, while it is still a work in progress, many thanks should be extended to Gordie Sheetz, Ed Krebs, Michelle Robinson and Jamie George, GIS Specialist. |
