Hear updates on a number of biking initiatives in RVA.

The Virginia Capital Trail Foundation is working on a trail head project at Great Shiplock Park and on the ¾ mile section between the completed portion Downtown and Rocketts Landing. VCU is working on a bike share program. Richmond 2015 is planning for 2015. And on and on!
Our presenters include: Jakob Helmboldt, Pedestrian, Bicycle and Trails Coordinator for the City of Richmond; Champe Burnley, co-chair Mayor’s Pedestrian, Bicycling and Trails Planning Commission; Beth Weisbord, Executive Director, Virginia Capital Trail Foundation; Tim Miller, Executive Director, Richmond 2015 Inc.; and Jacek Ghosh, Director of Sustainability, VCU.

Maybe one of the questions can be about the lack of bicycle lanes on the proposed 2nd Street Connector road. It seems like its less about improved citizen access to the river and more about Dominion employees speeding down to the riverfront.
