SGV Bike Plan Goes to San Gabriel City Council for Approval

Make History & Support a Bike-Friendly SGV!

For the past 15 months, Day One and BikeSGV have been working tirelessly to create safer streets, promote active lifestyles, and simply make our communities more vibrant. In partnership with Monterey Park, San Gabriel, El Monte, South El Monte and Baldwin Park, we kicked-off a region-wide effort to develop the San Gabriel Valley Bicycle Master Plan. The plan establishes a policy framework that will guide the development of an interconnected bicycle network that is safe and easily accessible for all ages and abilities in the San Gabriel Valley. Education, Encouragement, Evaluation and Enforcement programs have also been integrated into the plan to ensure a comprehensive approach to get more people on bikes more often. 

After months of input, edits and revisions, the time has come! The SGV Bike Plan is going to it's first city council for approval and YOUR HELP IS GREATLY NEEDED.
