Councilmembers Scott Griggs and Monica Alonzo are hosting a townhall to discuss implementation of bike lanes on FWA/West Commerce and the future of FWA/West Commerce Corridor as a complete street. The Fort Worth Avenue Development Group and a consortium of property owners and groups including BFOC recently contributed $25,000 toward the striping of bike lanes on this Street. Please come out to support creating a safer West Commerce/Ft. Worth Avenue for all!

    Here’s a great example of what can happen on a busy thoroughfare to successfully balance the needs of cars and bikes. I drove along this road for years, and it was always busy and dangerous. Now it’s busy and safe–for both cars AND bikes.

    Nickerson Street in Seattle is very comparable to Fort Worth Avenue in Dallas.
