Penticton: the city that banned discussion of bike lanes
Manage episode 404861786 series 3465471
The City of Penticton gained infamy when its City Council tried to ban discussion of bike lanes until 2026. One Councillor's political about-face almost stopped the bike lanes, but a clever amendment and determined advocates got the project back on track.
Matt Hopkins tells the story of how four friends and their farmers' market bike valet kick-started cycling improvements in Penticton. Now, the 6.5 km Lke-to-Lake route is nearing completion.
