Mayor Greg Nickels is seeking candidates for the Seattle Bicycle Advisory Board, which consists of 11 members who serve two-year terms in a volunteer capacity.

The board’s primary role is to advise the mayor, city council and all city departments and offices on matters related to bicycling and the implementation of the Seattle Bicycle Master Plan.

Specifically, board members seek to improve safety, access, and mobility for bicyclists. Board members contribute to planning and developing projects, as well as evaluating and recommending changes in city policies, design guidelines and regulations.

If interested in being considered, send a letter of interest and resume, which demonstrates your knowledge, experience, and insights into bicycle-related current issues.

Applicants must reside within the city limits. The board meets in City Hall on the first Wednesday of each month from 6 to 8 p.m.

E-mail a letter of interest and resume by July 6 to Douglas.Cox@Seattle.gov or by mail to:
