Ted Silver, longtime chairman of Miami- Dade's Bicycle- Pedestrian Advisory Committee, has resigned and is moving to the hills of North Carolina. He has been energetic and unusually well-informed, both in his bicycle advocacy as a voluntary member of BPAC and, earlier, as an avid rider with the Everglades Bicycle Club. Election of his successor is the first item of business on the agenda for next Wednesday's BPAC meeting.
Silver's departure leaves a BPAC vacancy in County Commission district 3. Current members of BPAC, each appointed by someone on the Metropolitan Planning Organization for greater Miami, are:
- Brett Bibeau, of Miami, executive director of the Miami River Commission
- Steve Greenberg, from the Brickell area,
- Susan Kairalla, a Kendall PTA activist representing the school system
- Theodore Karantsalis of Miami Springs, a librarian at Miami-Dade College
- Lee Marks, a Coconut Grove lawyer who sometimes handles bicycle injury cases
- John O'Brien, from North Miami's city planning department
- Robert Rodriguez, a Coral Gables lawyer
- Larry Thorson of Miami Beach
- Matthew Toro, a student and consultant from South Miami-Dade
- Betty Trueba, vice president of the Everglades Bicycle Club
- Eric Tullberg, of Palmetto Bay, the secretary of Green Mobility Network
