New Partners for Growth Bike Tour
Time: 1:00pm - 4:00pm
Join us for an experience that’s part bike tour, part bike audit and part Q&A – led by a world bike champion, a local bike advocate and a state bike planner. See how federal and state funding decisions translate into conditions on the street. The route will feature Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, Jones Falls and Druid Hill. Explore how America’s historically car-centric mindset shaped today’s bike networks, and how advocates, activists, planners and engineers are rebalancing the network toward cyclists. We’ll highlight gaps as well as connectivity in the bike network, consider treatments for bicycle-friendly streets, and explain how funding flows through the MPO to local government projects. Participants are encouraged to dress warmly. A bike, helmet, and light snack will be provided. Click here to see the ride route: Bicycle Tour Route NPSG Conference 012915
