Rochester, N.Y.) – The City of Rochester wants to be more bicycle-friendly.

The mayor wants City Council to approve an $80,000 contract with a Florida firm to come up with a Bicycle Master Plan.

According to the legislation, the plan could include bicycle lanes, parking, boulevards, and commuter facilities that have lockers and showers.

“It’s about people making taking bikes in good weather instead of cars. It’s great for fuel efficiency, energy savings, but it’s also about being healthy,” said Mayor Robert Duffy.
