The Bicycle Mobility Plan “will advance the state’s climate, public health, public health, transportation, and economic development goals while improving safety and connectivity,” and proposes a $25 million bond referendum to accomplish such advances.

We have lovingly restored bikes available at great prices — like this Electra Townie!! Swing by the Community Bike Garage to see what we have for you. Each purchase directly supports bicycle education and advocacy!🚴‍♀️🚴🏾‍♂️

I will be representing the EEC at the Health Equity Zone’s Earth Day event with @aq-resilience.bsky.social @bikenewportri.bsky.social and other organizations in/around the City of Newport. Come sign up for composting and partake in fun Earth day activities! Next Saturday, 4/18 in Miantonomi Park.
