Local Spokes
Formed in2010 as the Lower East Side-Chinatown Bicycling Coalition, Local Spokes’ nine partner organizations work together to engage local residents to envision the future of bicycling in the diverse neighborhoods of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. We seek to understand the community’s various perspectives through multilingual outreach, community visioning sessions, and a youth ambassadors program. This participatory process will result in the drafting of a conceptual plan and development of additional resources to address potential barriers and increase accessibility to bicycling. Ultimately we hope to create a new model for inclusive and sustainable transportation planning & development.
Local Spokes members include nine partner organizations:
Good Old Lower East Side (GOLES)
