Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

The City of Vancouver might have eliminated their bike program (they’ve also dissolved their transportation department as well), but it takes more than budget cuts to keep grassroots bike activism down.

Non-profit group Bike Me! Vancouver, the Fort Vancouver National Trust, and the City of Vancouver have partnered up to provide bike parking at the annual Fourth of July celebration and fireworks show this Sunday at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.

Roopal Patel, who was hired as the first ever Finance Director of the Bicycle Transportation Alliance back in April 2009, has decided to leave the organization. Patel becomes the fourth BTA director-level staffer to have either resigned or be fired in the past year.

Rob Sadowsky, the BTA’s new Executive Director, confirmed Patel’s resignation and said she’ll stay on through August to help with the hiring process. No reasons were cited for the resignation. Sadowsky says Patel was simply “ready to move on.”

A new coalition emerges behind freight funding push

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward
