A new short documentary by Streetfilms shows how Jersey City built the coalition to achieve major bike infrastructure investments.
"Jersey City is poised to become a great biking — and livable — city, thanks to an effort by local officials and outside consultants who have cracked the code on how to create protected bike lanes," according to an article on Streetsblog NYC that spreads the word about the video above.
The film documents the "Lets ride JC" project, launched in June 2018. According to the article, the project "has already succeeded in creating new protected routes as part of the city’s first 'bike master plan' — whose goal is 'the development of a low-stress, protected bikeway network serving neighborhoods citywide.'"
