New VISTA Introduction and Bike Parking Examples


You may have noticed a name change in our blog! My name is Allison Batch, and I’m the new VISTA serving with the S.A.V.E. Foundation for this year. I hope to carry on Matthew Cramer’s legacy in improving public and active transportation in Helena. He left some big shoes to fill, but I’m very excited to be here and get started!

One of my first projects has been helping the Non-Motorized Transportation Advisory Council (NMTAC) gather visual aids for their recommendations. Here are some examples of bike corrals and other bike parking I found for them. Click on the picture to read the article it came from!
