As of just a few hours ago, the County Commissioners of Durham adopted the Durham Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan on their consent agenda.
Thanks to all who wrote the County Commissioners showing your support. Next up, the City Council.
If you haven’t yet sent an email to City Council supporting the Bike Plan, you can find reasons to do so and a sample email here.
Thanks to Dan Clever for attending the meeting and reporting this good news.
So, who causes traffic congestion? The slow(er) bicyclist, or the car?
What you’re looking at is the visual representation of the difference between 35 people in single-occupant cars and those same 35 people in a multi-modal distribution. The municipal government of Denver, CO was the creative force behind this visualization.
Edit: Thanks to Jacquie Phelan for noticing that the old Denver photos (hotlinked) had been removed. I replaced it here with photos staged in Muenster to much the same effect.
