A map for Wichita cyclists

John B. of Cycling in Wichita and Robert of River City Cyclist are putting together, “a map of Wichita that will show information that those of us who travel in the city via bicycle–not just bike-commuters–tell us they find useful.” They want to make this a collaborative effort and are asking for your help.

John B. is also scheduled to speak to the City Council on June 30th at 9:00 am.

He who hesitates is column fodder

The City Council chooses a new City Manager with a 4-3 vote. The chosen one is slow to accept the job. Mark doesn’t like the dilly-dallying:

I thought the city should have considered rescinding the job offer after Layton’s second request for more time.

Not out of anger or frustration with Layton or to punish him in some way, but because Wichita shouldn’t send the message that we’ll sit in a lit window all night waiting for any suitor.

The election is five months away

The City elections are coming. District 6 is already looking interesting.

Will the recent push to get the vote out lead to more participation this round or are a majority of citizens burned out? Blog amongst yourselves.

Does this pass the sniff test?

Century II and Botanica will now be under the oversight of the Arts and Cultural services? The City Council votes 6-1 to approve it but lots of supporters of the two facilities are against it?

I’m just sayin’
