The City of Rochester’s new Active Transportation Plan includes more than 180 projects aimed at improving conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, and people who use mobility aids. That’s according to WXXI’s Jeremy Moule, who writes that a key component of the plan is a few dozen miles of new, interconnected bike networks.

This hour, we focus on the aspects of the plan devoted to cycling. Our guests are transportation experts and cycling advocates:
