Helena Awarded Bronze Bicycle Friendly Community Designation
Helena will soon receive Bronze Bicycle Friendly Community status from The League of American Bicyclists.
All of the advancements in cycling made by the City of Helena, Lewis
& Clark County, Montana Department of Transportation, support of
education efforts, community organizations, and other proponents
resulted in the award. In my role as an AmeriCorps VISTA, I assisted in the coordination of the application with Sarah Sadowski, Chair of NMTAC, City and County Staff, Elected Officials and other leading advocates. Other Montana Bicycle Friendly Communities include Bozeman (silver), Billings (bronze), and Missoula (gold).

network including Centennial Trail, new street separated crossings and
paths-such as the Broadway tunnel, the Transportation Update, and other
efforts, high designation should be in the works!
