Googlemapsbikethere is an interesting advocacy group petitioning Google, Inc for better online maps. See http://googlemapsbikethere.org/2008/04/02/elm-city-cycling/
"Occasionally we try to spotlight different groups of people - often cycling advocacy groups - from around the world. We recently covered groups in Australia and Hungary. ‘What is The Elm City’, you say?"
ECC was the main driver behind the City of New Haven's recent LAB Bicycle-Friendly Community application and has several subcommittees focused on other advocacy topics throughout New Haven. Based on the online discussions and the subcommittee work, the largest issues of concern to ElmCityCycling's members include improving bicycle and pedestrian access to and from Union Station, securing bicycle access on trains, calming traffic, and improving the safety of bike routes from all of the city's different neighborhoods to Downtown. They are working closely with City Hall to accomplish these tasks. Visit the ECC website at http://www.elmcitycycling.org/ and look around for yourself.
