Happy Bike to Work Day!
Every week, whether you know it or not, the Washtenaw Bicycling and Walking Coalition (WBWC) is working behind the scenes (and sometimes quite visibly) to make Washtenaw County a national leader in biking and walking.
For instance, this week we helped to arrange and promote site visits from Steve Clark of League of American Bicyclists in both Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. This visit included bike ride with advocates, policy makers, and city staff. Steve had some specific recommendations for both cities, but also some common advice. Cities that become national leaders have: 1) a mayor or council member who champions the importance of building a bike-friendly community; 2) dedicated city staff; and 3) tireless advocates.
For the past 16 years, WBWC has been advocating for a more walkable, bike-friendly Washtenaw County. And we're making progress, but we know what world-class facilities and policies look like and we're not there yet. We know that if we want to speed up our progress, we need to grow our membership and build this movement.
