'We have a long way to go' on bicycle ridership and Complete Streets in St. Louis | St. Louis Public Radio
Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:
If numbers tell the story, bicycle ridership in St. Louis has boomed. A 2014 study from the League of American Bicyclists shows the number of bicycle commuters increased 269.9 percent between 2000 and 2014.
That staggering number isn’t the only sign that St. Louis is making a push to be a bicycle-friendly city. As the area celebrates national Bike to Work Day on Friday, it's time to take a look at improvements that have been made and needs still to be addressed.
In 2010, the city passed comprehensive legislation known as “Complete Streets,” aimed at making city streets more rider and walker friendly. A year later, the city of St. Louis, in partnership with local groups, opened the Downtown Bicycle Station. In 2014, the city updated its Complete Streets legislation. (St. Louis County has started working toward a Complete Streets program, and several municipalities offer a hodgepodge of aids and regulation.)
