With more than 120 miles of greenways and trails, Marion County offers extensive opportunities for bicycling. Yet ridership has declined with fewer documented bicycle trips since 2019 while vehicle-bicyclist crashes have increased since the pandemic. This presentation examines bicycle use, safety incidents and infrastructure access to better understand who is riding, where safety concerns exist and where gaps and opportunities remain in the county's biking network.
What to Expect
This event is presented in partnership with the Indianapolis Public Library, WFYI Public Media and SAVI. Beer is generously provided by Bier Brewery.
As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
