Check presented by Fort Worth Avenue Development Group to Councilmembers Alonzo and Griggs
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!

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