Here are the high points of the meeting (see the links above for more details):
1. For 2026, we want to encourage members to step forward to take on these formal volunteer roles:
- Membership Coordinator

- Financial Lead
2. Elections for BNP President and Vice President will be in December
- Everyone is encouraged to run
- November meeting will include time for candidates to talk about why they want to run
3. Coming Bike Lanes on Lansdale’s East Main Street / Welsh R. (Line Street to North Wales Rd.):
- These will be the first bike lanes in Lansdale Borough
- We feel there may be pushback once the bike lanes are in place, so everyone is encouraged to start using these lanes quickly and often.
- Bike North Penn will be organizing an ad-hoc community ride on the first weekend AFTER the bike lane paint has been put down. Standby for more info on this as it comes together
