The Bike Walk Twin Cities partner organizations (Federal Highway Administration, Volpe National Transportation Systems Center at U.S. DOT, Rails to Trails Conservancy, Centers for Disease Control) and all partner communities (Columbia, MO; Marin Co, CA; Minneapoils, MN; Sheboygan Co, WI;) conducted a full-day workshop at the annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board. The event featured a roster of bike/ped luminaries from across the country and around the world as speakers and participants. Among the presenters: Robert Lilligren, Minneapolis City Councilmember and Co-chair of the BWTC Bike/Walk Advisory Committee. Barb Thoman and Tony Hull from Bike Walk Twin Cities also presented and moderated sessions.
Bike Walk Twin Cities is an initiative designed to make it easier for you to get where you want to go without using your car. Armed with a $21.5 million federal grant, we are building new bike lanes, safer crosswalks, and other improvements to make it easier to walk and bike in Minneapolis and its neighboring communities. We're even making it easy once you get to your destination: Bike Walk Twin Cities invests in accessible, abundant, and smartly located bike parking, better lighting along biking and walking routes, and more pleasant streetscapes (with things like public art, greenery, and benches).
