Tuesday night was a really great night in my career when I won a significant award at an event in Seattle in a room with 800 people. It felt wonderful, and I captured a bit of it here: http://bikestylespokane.com/2024/03/17/a-thrilling-night/.
I just walked along a long stretch of beautiful new sidewalk from a bus stop and encountered this.

Please read more about the program and how our team--a partnership between the Merrick-Moore CDC and #UNC researchers--plans to use this support to help remove barriers to safe #mobility in #DurhamNC 👇
