Just sharing…saw on the local news tonight that the Old Town Police are handing
out the neon safety vests to anyone who comes in to the Police station and
requests one. I personally thought that was an AWESOME community service idea.
Just sharing! Visibility is ½ the battle. Kathy

Towards the bottom of this email from the Bicycle Coalition, they mention the
latest winners of their BikeMaine Community Grants. This is the one we've
applied for twice now but have yet to receive, so this can give us more of an
idea of what ideas fare successfully with them.

2019 BikeMaine Economic Impact Statement
[https://files.constantcontact.com/e588c999301/0d1b0a46-da26-40d6-9cc9-9e6fa1683184.jpg]
BikeMaine strives to have a positive economic impact on our host communities,
businesses, and community organizations-through riders, family members, and
volunteers-along with the continuing benefits from increased community
visibility. We are very happy to announce our estimated impact for BikeMaine
2019: Coastal Connections.
This year's total economic impact: $906,227
including food, facility rentals, meals, law enforcement, community relations,
entertainment, and $7,000 to the Katahdin Middle-High School for their
continued excellence as our Tent and Porter crew.
Of that total, our riders contributed over $677,239 in lodging, food, shopping,
recreation and transportation. We received over 230 responses from riders on
our post-ride survey, which helped us calculate this number with a great deal
of confidence.
This total impact represents a growth of over 20% over the total impact of the
2018 ride, and brings the cumulative, eight year impact of BikeMaine to over $4
Million!
Thank you to everyone involved for your help, support, and enthusiasm.
BikeMaine couldn't happen without the volunteer support of countless people in
each host community, and being able to give back to the region in the form of
economic development is foundational to the event's mission.
2019 BikeMaine Community Grant Recipients!
Along with our direct economic impact in the form of spending during the ride,
the Community Grant program continues to be a key piece of BikeMaine's impact,
serving as a guiding principle in our mission of economic development across
the state. Communities become eligible to apply for the grant program after
hosting BikeMaine.
We had 15 grant applications this year, for a wide range of bicycle and
pedestrian related infrastructure and education projects all across the state.
From this impressive pool of applicants, we are happy to announce these winners:
The Town of Fort Kent (2018 host community) was awarded $3,750, and will use
the funds for the installation of two flashing pedestrian crosswalk lights,
which enhance the connectivity of the Fish River Greenway multi-use path.
The Town of Pittsfield (2017 host community) received $2,500 to install five
bike racks throughout the town as part of a larger effort to promote new
bicycle events and usage by residents.
The Washington County Council of Governments (2016 region) is receiving $5,000
to install signage for the 350-mile Bold Coast Scenic Bikeway, the first fully
signed scenic bikeway in Maine.
Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust (2017 host community) will use the $3,750 award
to help improve a section of the Hatchery Brook trail, making it suitable for
mountain biking.
It is an honor to fund such a diverse range of projects the address both
bicycle and pedestrian issues around Maine. Congratulations to the 2019
winners, and we are excited for another round of funding in 2020, with more
eligible communities than ever before!
