BikeWalk RVA “A Trip to the District” Video; Partnership for Smarter Growth Forum

If you’re a Richmond “bikie” you’re probably already aware of the forum being held Thursday evening, Sept. 28, 6-8 PM, at the Science Museum of Virginia. Co-sponsored by Partnership for Smarter Growth and Sportsbackers, it results from a recent field trip to Washington DC, to tour that region’s bike infrastructure.

How will we make Richmond as bike-friendly as our nation’s capital? That’s the topic of the forum: “A Look into the Richmond Region’s Bike Future”

Whether or not you come to the forum, watch the video from the trip. (Above.)

Two more events will follow:

  • Thursday, Oct. 24: Gulak Memorial Lecture featuring Jeff Speck, author of Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America One Step at a Time, co-sponsored by VCU, VCU Student Commons, 7 – 8:30 p.m.
  • Thursday, Nov. 14: River City Saunter featuring Harriet Tregoning, Director of the Washington, D.C. Office of Planning
