new People for Bikes rankings

[Jesse Peers]

The new People for Bikes City rankings were unveiled today.

Rochester went down from #21 to #47 in the country. This is to be expected. Let's hope the lower ranking spurs City Hall to go beyond the status quo and aim for better bike networks.

Here is Rochester's 2019 report. https://cityratings.peopleforbikes.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/rochesterNY-1.pdf

Here is last year's report. https://cityratings.peopleforbikes.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/rochesterNY.pdf

Let's discuss at Thursday's RCA meeting. May's RCA meeting has been moved to May 9 so it won't coincide with Bike Week. U of R, Goergen Hall, Room 108, 7-9pm
