The League of American Bicyclists announced this week that Richardson’s status as a Bronze-level Bicycle Friendly Community has been renewed. The award recognizes Richardson for its commitment to creating transportation and recreational resources that benefit its residents of all ages and abilities while encouraging healthier and more sustainable transportation choices. Richardson was the first city in North Texas to be named a Bicycle Friendly Community in 2015, when it received bronze certification, and that status was renewed in 2019.
Since adopting its Active Transportation Plan in 2023, the City launched a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee and has moved forward on many other initiatives identified in the plan, including a Complete Streets Policy, bike parking regulations for new development, a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan, a Neighborhood Byway program, and advancement of key infrastructure investments such as the Cotton Belt Trail and connections across US 75 (see above story for an update on these connections).
