Aldermen take steps to make Frederick more bicycle-friendly

By Christian Brown

The Board of Aldermen approved on June 3 an action plan to educate and encourage residents to ride bicycles and to design a more bicycle-friendly city.
If the city were to attain this status, it would be the only community in Maryland to have it, according to Tim Davis, the city’s traffic engineer.
One of the requirements for a community to be named bicycle-friendly is that it needs to have active bicycler advocacy groups, which Frederick has in the form of the Frederick Pedalers and the Frederick Bicycle Coalition.
Kelso pointed out that Rockville was once named a bicycle-friendly community, but lost the designation because the city was "resting on [its] laurels."
"Have you seen Rockville Pike," Alderman Kelly Russell (D) joked.
