Kudos again to Mayor Otis Johnson, Aldermen Larry Stuber and Mary Ellen Sprague, City Manger Michael Brown and dozens of others for joining our Dump the Pump Convoy on Friday as covered on the front page in today’s SMN. We had close to 50 on the short ride from Baldwin Park and Habersham Village, punctuated by the dedication of on street bike racks at Bull and Broughton.
As I mentioned at the press conference, the situation for bikes is good and getting better, though we have much still to do — specifically our highest priority, a southbound marked route out of downtown. We also need to start thinking about reconnecting the Savannah to Tybee rail corridor by a complete multi-use path. We will of course be addressing these issues when we get together with the city and the League of American Bicyclists at our upcoming (but not yet scheduled) BFC Workshop.
