7 October 29, 2018 Mayor Virgil Holder City of South Pittsburg 204 W. 3"' St. South Pittsburg, TN Mayor Holder, Bike Walk Tennessee is working with the Tennessee Department of Transportation to plan and apply for U.S. Bike Route 121. The route will follow existing roads between Chattanooga and Nashville and will bring economic benefits to your community in the form of bicycle BIKE WALK TENNESSEE 903 Windgate St Knoxville, TN tourism. USBR 121 is the third corridor in Tennessee that we are refining into a specific route and is part of a national effort to designate a U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS). Because the bicycle route system is on existing roads and trails, it will not require any financial commitment from the cities, counties and towns it passes through. You can view the proposed route via this link: The USBRS project is coordinated by Adventure Cycling Association, a national non-profit specializing in bicycle travel and route development for cyclists. The routes are being numbered and cataloged by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). You can find a large amount of background information on the USBRS at including a downloadable corridor map for the entire proposed system, here. In order to submit an application to AASHTO on behalf of the Tennessee Department of Transportation, we are seeking concurrences from each jurisdiction that maintains local roads and trails along the route. Since use of the bike route will provide economic benefits to the jurisdictions it passes through, we are hopeful that you will support our application to AASHTO for official route designation. We have provided more information about Bike Walk Tennessee and the proposed route (and its benefits) below. We have also attached a template for a letter of support for your use. Please feel free to edit the letter as needed and mail an original signed copy to: Bike Walk Tennessee 903 Windgate St Knoxville, TN Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Caroline Cooley or Shannon Burke with Bike Walk Tennessee as provided below. And thank you for your support I Caroline Cooley Executive Committee Bike Walk Tennessee mailto:caroline@bikewalktn.org Shannon Burke Volunteer Bike Walk Tennessee shannon@veloviewbiketours.com Yours Most Sincerely, Caroline Cooley, MD
