“Our organizations’ shared space will foster better collaborations, allowing both of our organizations to improve access and reach new audiences throughout the region," said Justin Booth, executive director for GObike. “A dedicated educational space will allow expansions in GObike’s programming such as Recycle a Bicycle and adult education to help all road users interact in a safe manner.”

Community members and students will also have better access to the combined space. “This evolution of our partnership with GObike means an enhancement of support and encouragement for biking and bike sharing as a form of transportation, recreation and fitness in the city of Buffalo,” said Jennifer White, marketing and communications director for Reddy Bikeshare.

Meanwhile, Gutter Pop will move its comic book store from its current location on Elmwood Avenue and will share the new building's restored automobile showroom with the as-yet unnamed record shop that will be owned and operated by Mark Costantino. The record store will specialize in records, CDs and other music merchandise, including record players, literature and T-shirts.
