Board Agenda and Meeting Minutes
Bicycles and the City of Saint Paul
Over the past few years, Saint Paul has been proactive in implementing bicycle facilities as part of improving transporation throughout the city. Bicycle facilities help the City in its effort in its effort to make bicycling an integral part of daily life in Saint Paul, thereby helping to make our city the "most livable city in America."
Building infrastructure so that physical activity is more easily incorporated into the daily lives of Saint Paul's residents has tremendous health, economic, environmental and quality of life benefits such as: improved air quality, decreased carbon footprint, decreased noise pollution, a decreased need for space to accommodate vehicle parking needs and improved health from increased physical activity.
