Richmond is on a roll with bike and pedestrian development. With Project STIR, the Mayor’s Commission, and the city’s bid for the 2015 World Cycling Championships all going on right now, this is a great time and place to be involved.
The City of Richmond is seeking a successful candidate to administer the City’s new Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Trails Coordinator Program with the goal of making Richmond one of the most bicycle and pedestrian-friendly cities in the country. This position reports directly to the Chief Administrative Officer and a Deputy Chief Administrative Officer. Selected incumbent will be responsible for leading the integration of bicycling and walking into the local, regional and statewide transportation planning processes, coordinating and managing program communications, implementing policy and design criteria and developing bicycle and pedestrian studies and will collaborate with the City of Richmond Planning Department and Department of Public Works, VDOT, Ride Finders – a division of GRTC, stakeholder groups, local governments, and MPO and PDC staff.
Could Richmond be the next Portland? Could you be the next Mia Birk?
