Get Visible!
As we draw nearer and nearer to the winter solstice coming up this month, it's common sense that extra measures are needed to ensure bicyclists are visible on the roads. It's a good idea to equip yourself and your bike with lights and reflectors to enhance visibility and keep you safe. Plus, it's the law. |
Jefferson Avenue Bikeway
This month, the City will host three public meetings on the application of potential traffic calming
treatments on the western portion of Jefferson
Avenue.
Each public meeting will focus on a particular segment of Jefferson as
follows: December 6 (Mississippi River Boulevard to Finn Street), December 12 (Finn Street to Fairview Avenue),
and December 13 (Fairview
Avenue to Snelling Avenue). All meetings will take place at Nativity School from
7:00-8:30pm. There will also be an online
survey for citizens to share their opinions of these traffic calming treatments
that will be live from the first meeting on December 6 through the end of the month. For the latest on the Jefferson Avenue Bikeway, please see: www.stpaul.gov/jefferson.

Bike-n-Ride
As the darkness descends and the weather becomes more
challenging, remember the bus is your friend.
All Metro Transit buses are equipped with bike racks. These each hold two bikes. But, if the racks appear full, don’t despair, just
ask the driver if you may bring your bike aboard. While the driver may determine that your bike
can’t fit safely during the time you’re trying to ride, it’s worth a shot!
