Increase Safety
We advocate for solutions that are safer for cyclists and pedestrians because when people feel safe they use infrastructure more. By prioritizing safety we'll create walkable places that people will want to live.
Empower People
Not just for recreation, we believe active infrastructure can empower a community, provide low cost commuting solutions, and give greater access to basic necessities.
Equality
We believe that infrastructure improvements should benefit everyone, not just those from a specific demographic. B/WG will not advocate for any solution that doesn't account for those most in need first.
Improve Quality of Life
Active infrastructure and outdoor recreation leads to better physical health outcomes, better quality of life and mental health outlooks, and an overall happier, active population.
Design for Humans
Car-centric development has destroyed the walkability of our cities and divided communities with impassible vehicle infrastructure. By designing for humans we aim to reconnect communities.
Fiscally Responsible Development
We know local budgets can be tight. We advocate for smart spending, pursuing federal grant opportunities, and doing projects that have the most real impact with the community.
