Greenfield Partners with Conway School Students to Enhance Bike Connectivity

GREENFIELD — The city of Greenfield announced a collaborative partnership with graduate students from the Conway School of Landscape Design aimed at improving the connectivity of the city’s bike network. The city invites all residents to participate in this planning process through an upcoming community meeting and online survey.

As interest in active transportation grows, the city is taking proactive steps to identify gaps in — and potential improvements to — the current infrastructure. The visiting graduate students will apply their expertise in ecological design and planning to analyze Greenfield’s streets and trails, looking for opportunities to create more cohesive bike routes for riders of all ages and abilities.

“We’re working to ensure that Greenfield is accessible for everyone, whether they are driving, walking, or biking,” Mayor Virginia “Ginny” Desorgher said. “We are thrilled to partner with the Conway School to identify where our connectivity can be improved. This is an opportunity to look at our city with fresh eyes, and I encourage our residents to join the conversation and help shape a more bike-friendly future for Greenfield.”
