Cities, Bicycles, and the Future of Getting Around

Posted by Rebecca Eggleston on December 23, 2009

If you’re thinking about the future of mobility in your city, see these excerpts from the forum “Cities, Bicycles, and the Future of Getting Around” held in D.C. last week by the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) and Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program.

Insights on integrating bike infrastructure into cities and building demand for bicycling were shared by David Byrne, Congressman Earl Blumenauer and Janette Sadik-Khan.

Janette also launched Cities for Cycling, “a NACTO project focused on breaking down ‘barriers to bike-friendly street design in municipalities around the United States.’”

We’re looking forward to seeing the progressive approach to street management in New York for ourselves when we visit for our Strategy Session 2010.
