Great Turnout for Richmond Mayor’s Pedestrian, Bicycling & Trails Planning Commission

How do we make this a reality? Biking and walking infrastructure improvements, and bike and pedestrian trails and paths.

A standing-room-only-crowd of more than 200 showed up for Richmond’s new bike-ped planning group meeting in Byrd Park on Monday evening.

James River News Hub has the story, with more from NBC 12.

Enthusiasm for biking and walking in Richmond has been building since Project STIR was launched last spring. Following that, Mayor Dwight Jones issued an order creating the Pedestrian, Bicycling, and Trails Planning Commission.

With many potential trail corridors, Richmond could easily be a great biking and walking city. The Commission is still seeking input, so please take an online survey.
