Julie: Rochester cyclists–Hold the Mayor to his word

While I was browsing today on my lunch hour at Greenwood Books, I got a chance to hear Mayor Duffy on our local NPR affiliate, WXXI. He was on the talk show, 1370 Connection.

A caller complained about there being too many cyclists on downtown sidewalks. Mayor Duffy agreed, and said, “I’m really interested in creating bike lanes downtown for bicyclists.” Okay, that quote may not be his exact words, but you get the gist.

So, let’s hold the Mayor accountable to his words…emails, letters, phone calls…maybe a more organized effort, particularly in light of Jack’s comments about the Midtown Plaza site.
