A BILL FOR
SB1037 LRB099 05490 RJF 25526 b
AN ACT concerning transportation.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Bikeway Act is amended by changing Section 1
as follows:
(605 ILCS 30/1) (from Ch. 121, par. 601)
Sec. 1. Legislative declarations and findings. The The
General Assembly declares that since a third of the population
owns bicycles, there is an urgent need for safe bikeways, for
the use of both children and adults for transportation, healthy
exercise and recreation.
The General Assembly finds that to coordinate plans for
bikeways most effectively with those of the State and local
governments as they affect roads, streets, schools, parks, and
other publicly owned lands, lands not owned by a municipality,
local unit of government, county, or the State of Illinois or
one of its agencies or authorities by agreement, abandoned
roadbeds and conservation areas, while maximizing the benefits
from the use of tax dollars, a single State agency, eligible to
receive federal matching funds, should be designated to
establish and maintain a State-wide bikeways program.
