Carrboro has <br />the Bicycle Friendly Community silver status, and is working <br />toward gold. To increase the grades on the Bicycle Friendly <br />Community report card, the Town can engage in more activities <br />and education, as well as the bike plan for policy, and <br />infrastructure updates. The bike plan was adopted in 2009 and it <br />is time for an update to look at priorities and new technologies.
