Morganton Bikeability Audit

Hey Everyone!

We, as in Morganton Cyclist, have a great opportunity to do a bikeability audit of downtown Morganton this week! Stantec, the company hired to do the City’s new development plan, is happy to let us do this audit and provide feedback about cycling through the city.

If you aren’t familiar with what’s going on, check out the Downtown Morgnaton Facebook page or call the City Hall!

The bikeability audit basically allows us to “grade” biking around Downtown Morganton to provide feedback on how to best improve for safety, ease of bicycling and hopefully enjoyment.

I apologize that this is short notice, but they’d like some feedback for their meeting at 5:30 pm Wednesday! So, if you can participate we’ll be riding through downtown this Wednesday from 3-5 and taking notes along the way. Please meet at Overmountain Cycles directly next to Fonta Flora Brewery and we will leave promptly at 3pm!!!

So details are:

What: Bike-ability audit
Time: Wednesday 17th from 3-5pm (leaving promptly)
Where: Overmountain Cycles 313 N. Green Street (next to Fonta Flora)

Try to bring a pen and something to carry some paper in. I will print out the audit so everyone can have their own, but below is the link to the checklist we’ll use.
