If these questions are not applicable to your community, skip ahead to the next question. • The application will refer to your type of jurisdiction as `community' throughout the application, for a lack of a better term. So when the application asks about bicycle amenities, services and other resources in your community, please only list what is provided within your jurisdiction's boundaries. However, if there is a significant bicycle amenity close by, you can tell us about it in the bonus point question at the end of each 'E' section. • The application is designed for communities of all sizes. The conditions that make your community unique -- size, type, location, climate -- are important when \hE LEAGUE BICYCLE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY Fall 2018 APPLICATION For review only. Only applications submitted online will be considered for designation. Apply online at http://apply.bikeleague.org. determining how to best encourage and support bicycling, and will be taken into consideration when we review your application. • It is not necessary to be able to check every box on this application. We've provided a comprehensive menu of all the ways a community can be bicycle -friendly, and some options are more valuable than others, but we don't expect any community to do everything on the list. • Unless a question specifically asks about plans for the future, only check boxes for things that are already being done. So if most improvements for bicyclists are still in the planning stage, you can either wait a year or two before you apply to increase your chances to receive an award, or you can apply now to benchmark and watch your community move up in award levels in the future (which can be a powerful way to show the impact of investments). • If your community is doing something that isn't listed in the checkboxes, or that goes above and beyond any of the check box options, please tell us about it! Use the bonus point questions at the end of each 'E' section and the `Final Overview' section at the end of the application to give us more details. This not only helps us to better understand your community, it also helps improve the program by identifying new trends and best practices. • If you would like to share any documents such as a community bike map or a file with photos with the reviewers, please include a link or upload the file either under the relevant question (if possible) or in the designated space at the end of the Final Overview section. We recommend using a service such as TinyURL (tinyurl.com/) to shorten any long links. • Don't be shy to tell us about your community's weaknesses. This gives us a more accurate snapshot of your community, and displays that you are critically evaluating the community's internal efforts, which is an important component of the final 'E', Evaluation & Planning.
