Steps Staffer Participates in New Orleans Sustainability Forum

May 28th, 2008

Steps staffer Jennifer Ruley participated in a forum with Rutgers University Professor John Pucher entitled Sustainability and the Recovery of New Orleans: Bicycling as Transportation. Ms. Ruley gave an update on progress toward building a network of premier bicycle facilities throughout New Orleans. She discussed how lessons learned from bicycle-friendly cities in the U.S. and beyond have influenced the New Orleans approach and how New Orleans is capitalizing on the unprecedented opportunity to integrate bicycle facilities into numerous post-Katrina rebuilding projects.
