FW: Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission Annual Report 2025

[carey...@comcast.net]

Happy New Year.

 

We look forward to the O’Connell administration fulfilling all of the BPAC recommendations in this annual report.

 

 

Also, good news about funding for the Opry Mills greenway connector although I don’t think $11 million is enough.

 

 

A recent study, that included Nashville,  by the League of American Bicyclists and funded by Lime, found that better infrastructure lead to more bicycle and scooter trips. Who would have thought of that?

 

 

Ride your bike or take a walk.

 

Carey

Thanks Carey. Recent data from Boston show that more bike lanes both increase bike traffic and reduce car traffic:
