Sturgeon Bay is continuing to improve so you can feel safe on your bike while riding around the city. For the second straight quadrennial, Sturgeon Bay earned the bronze status for being a Bicycle Friendly Community from the League of American Bicyclists. The city is one of 24 Bicycle Friendly Communities in the state and approximately 500 certified municipalities across the country. The League of American Bicyclists considers five areas of focus when considering an application: engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation. City Planner Chris Sullivan-Robinson says it is good for Sturgeon Bay to keep its Bicycle Friendly Community status.
The city’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board will discuss the scorecard it received from the League of American Bicyclists when it meets on Monday. The board will also discuss creating a bike rodeo event in 2022 and installing bicycle repair stations in certain parts of the city.
