Our Executive Director submitted this column to The Greenville News that was published on April 9, 2017:
A group on concerned citizens in the City of Greenville have been recently advocating for slower vehicle speeds through their residential streets. This is a common concern in our community. The current solution offered by the City is to go through a well thought out traffic calming process.
Bike Walk Greenville recently suggested to three members of City Council at a neighborhood meeting that it was time for the City to seriously consider a 20’s plenty program for all residential streets. We shared this excellent video from the UK with all of Council to start the conversation. We pointed out that the City of Portland Oregon has recently adopted this program. This document summarizes the Portland 20 is Plenty Plan.
