On Aug. 28 the Savannah City Council considered a resolution that holds great promise for Savannah’s cyclists and, truly, all of Savannah. The resolution reads as follows:
“A resolution to instruct the City Manager to submit an application to the League of American Cyclists to join the Bicycle Friendly Communities Initiative. The City to hold a community workshop with Bicycle Friendly Communities Initiative staff would rate the environment for bicycle usage in Savannah and make recommendations for improvements. This would be part of the “Thrive” program for City-wide sustainability. (See attached memo.) Recommend approval.”
And approve it they did! Congratulations to the mayor and aldermen for taking this important first step toward earning Savannah a Bicycle Friendly Community designation. Click here to download a .pdf version of the memo described above.
