The theme this year’s web meeting is “Suddenly Visible.” For year’s we’ve been talking about bicycling and active transportation. Now it seems like everything is happening before our very eyes - it’s suddenly become very visible! People are reacting like they’ve never seen a bike lane before - and some of the newer infrastructure is indeed very new to greater Kalamazoo! Hear from those who are making it happen, using the results and planning the future.
