2020 Township Election: Candidate Responses on Bicycling
Bike the Woodlands Coalition sent a 2-question survey to candidates to get their views on bicycle riding in The Woodlands. We have now published a collection of candidate survey responses.
This information is collected to inform voters and is just one of many considerations for bicycling-oriented voters to contemplate prior to casting a vote.
We received responses from all the current candidates. The great news is that in general there is considerable support for bicycling in The Woodlands based on responses from the candidates. We ask that you consider their responses when you vote. Bike the Woodlands Coalition is not endorsing candidates in this election.
Early Voting is October 13th to October 30th. Election day is November 3rd.
The survey questions are:
In 2016, The Woodlands Township Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan was unanimously adopted by the Board of Directors. Since then, only one project in the plan has been completed. Do you support the plan and if so what steps would you take to progress the plan? The master plan is available here: https://www.thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov/ImageRepository/Document?documentID=6768
