Bicycle Friendly Signs Popping Up

Signs are popping up around the City of Spokane touting the City's status as a “Bicycle Friendly Community.” The League of American Bicyclists recently awarded Spokane the honor of a Bronze Level Bicycle Friendly Community. Signs have been installed on Howard St. near its intersection with Cataldo Ave., and on High Dr. near 43rd Ave. Three more signs will be installed in other locations later this summer.

Spokane was one of 16 new cities to receive the bicycle friendly award in 2010. The program is designed to revolutionize the way communities evaluate their quality of life, sustainability, and transportation networks.
