Jersey City Kicks Off Its Bike Master Plan With the 9th Annual Bike JC Ward Tour
Well over 2,000 people came out on World Bike Day for Jersey City’s ninth annual Ward Tour, a 16-mile ride that visits all six wards in the city, according to ride organizer Bike JC.
Big things are afoot in Jersey City. As Mayor Steven Fulop (who rode the whole way) told the crowd, work is now underway on a bike master plan, known as Let’s Ride JC, that aims to extend a network of safe, comfortable bikeways throughout the city.
At the finish line, riders got to see a pop-up protected bike lane made out of paint and a few small plants. It’s the type of demo project that the Street Plans Collaborative, which is leading development of the bike plans, aims to show a lot more people in the months ahead.
All in all, everyone had a great time riding on the streets of Jersey City and imagining a city that’s better for bicycling.
