It was a big day for cycling in Richmond. Developments in bike trails, bike lanes and we’re very close to the city announcing the hire of its new Bicycling Coordinator and cycling-friendly events in Richmond.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch visited the media day for Cannon Creek Greenway, a development focused on Richmond’s off-road bike trails and a leap forward in its greenway development.
NBC12’s Rachel DePompa tackled the City’s efforts on Richmond’s roadways:
Richmond’s staking its claim as a cycling city. Leaders will spend $550,000 making bike safety improvements on 80 miles of city roads.
Miles of city streets will soon have painted markings with a cyclist on the road. They’re called bike sharrows. They are not designated biking areas, but are meant to indicate a cyclist’s right to the lane. It’s part of Richmond’s effort to be a true multi-modal community.
“We want to see bicycling in the City of Richmond become a huge impact,” said Mayor Dwight Jones.
Signs and pavement markings will be placed on 80 miles of the city’s roadways over the next two years.
