Penguins/Mellon Arena Transportation Survey

[dcm229]

Today in the Penguins email newsletter, there was a link to a “Mellon Arena Transportation Survey”. The survey seems to focus on bicycle transportation to/from Mellon Arena, and what incentives would encourage you to start commuting (or more frequently commute) by bicycle to Mellon Arena. I think this sounds pretty encouraging… maybe they are trying to get bicycle facilities at the new arena? Anyone have any more info on this? In any event, I just wanted to spread the word to fellow cyclists, hoping it will positively impact whatever they are trying to do with the survey. See link and more info below:

I saw that and completed the survey. I could ride there from my parents house, and if they offered specials for cyclist I would definitly ride to the games. I heard of the Lighting in Tampa (i think it was the Bolts anyway) offering half price or free tickets if you rode a bike to the games on special promotion nights. Pretty cool!
