Since September 2010 when Richmond formed the Pedestrian, Bike, and Trails Commission after an enthusiastic crowd of 200 cyclists filled The Carillon, the city has been working toward the creation of a bike master plan.

May is National Bike Month and the perfect time to be focusing on making Richmond more bike- and pedestrian-friendly. While we are still working on ways to rethink our streets, Wednesday will present a chance for the public to meet and express their opinions on the progress.

The city, in partnership with Sports Backers’ Bike Walk RVA initiative, will be hosting a Bike Master Plan Open House on Wednesday, May 14, at The Carillon in Byrd Park. The interactive forum will provide attendees an opportunity to engage in roundtable discussions with facilitators to help them make refinements to the draft bikeways network.
