In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The Bronze-level award signifies that Frederick has established a strong basis for promoting active transportation. It also serves as a guide for future initiatives to develop a comprehensive and secure cycling network suitable for individuals of all ages and skill levels. The League of American Bicyclists issues these awards annually on a rolling four-year cycle, and the City of Frederick has maintained its Bronze designation since 2012, indicating a sustained commitment to this cause.
For residents interested in learning more about the city’s bicycling initiatives or the specifics of this designation, further details are available through the full report issued by the League of American Bicyclists. Those seeking direct information can contact David Edmondson, the city’s Transportation Planner, via email at dedmondson@cityoffrederickmd.gov or by phone at 301.600.1884. This recognition encourages continued development in making Frederick a more bike-friendly place for everyone.
