Fairmount Civic Supports Bike Lane, Francisville Up Next On Monday

Last night we presented the case for a Fairmount Avenue bike lane to the Fairmount Civic Association's monthly meeting. Charles Carmalt of the Mayor's Office of Transportation and Utilities co-led the presentation with our own Sarah Clark Stuart, BCGP's Policy Director.   Councilman Bill Greenlee attended the meeting and also spoke briefly on the topic.

Good questions were asked by the assembled neighbors (more than 60 people turned out), and the final vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the bike lane: everybody-minus-one in favor, one opposed.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to attend the meeting! This is the kind of civic engagement that makes our city a better place to ride a bike!
