In Valparaiso, Parks Director Kevin Nuppnau says the city has again been named a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists. Valparaiso joins 14 other communities in the state on the list, renewing the Bronze-level recognition originally awarded to Valpo in 2019.
“We truly are a fit city and one committed to the mission of the League of American Bicyclists of creating safer roads, stronger communities and a Bicycle Friendly America,” said Mayor Jon Costas. “With 23 miles of pathways, 14 off-road trails, plus miles of bike lanes and a BikeShare service, we work to make Valparaiso a safe and encouraging place for bicyclists,” he said.
“We share a special thanks to the Valparaiso Pathways Committee, City Leadership, Valparaiso Police and Fire, and Valparaiso Community Schools for providing valuable input into the city’s growing pathway and bike lane system. This award celebrates the people and places that are building a more Bicycle Friendly America for everyone,” he said. To learn more visit ValpoParks online and find the “Programs” tab .
