what is the most effective way of contacting our other local representatives? ive faxed in the past, figuring that it was a sure way they noticed it, but who knows...

[politicalhero]

you can go here and find them and call http://www.lrc.ky.gov/Legislators.htm

The message line is always a good way because you can leave the same message for various legislators at the same time. Legislators are usually really good at receiving these written messages.

the legislative hotline is 800-372-7181. When you call just state your name, address and bill name (SB 145).

I think the bill should require consideration of bike/ped in resurfacing projects as well. When I interned with the city, it was always a struggle to be in the know about resurfacing projects. We always had to rush to get the road measurements made, mapped, and submitted before the road was suddenly repaved. Requiring bike/ped amendments to be considered with every resurfacing project would make the process much easier.
