WHAT WE'RE ADVOCATING FOR

  • Slow Streets: Following last week’s successful Slow Streets Pilot that turned sections of parking on East and Swann Drive in Druid Hill Park to a trail for people walking and biking, the pilot program will be expanded to Lake Montebello along Curran Drive. This will provide more recreation space around the entire lake. Click here for our map of the Slow Streets Pilot Program.

  • Delivering Food by Bike: Bikemore has partnered with Civic Works and Real Food Farm (see photo above) to add capacity to their food delivery program by organizing volunteer to deliver food by bike. Check out some of our amazing volunteers!
