The city of Duarte has been in the news lately. Not only has its Mayor John Fasana earned some positive press for his efforts to finally end the 710 Big Dig Tunnel Project, but the city itself has also been making strides toward a more progressive vision for transportation inside its own borders.

Today, #DamienTalks with Brian Velez, who conducted a series of interviews with people riding bicycles, residents of the city, and the Duarte City Manager about the impact of recently installed bicycle lanes on Duarte Road. The lanes were part of the city's effort to build out its Bike Master Plan, passed by the city in the end of 2015.

For more information on bicycling in Duarte, check the Bike SGV webpage. Look here to learn about the bicycle master plan; here for information on the current state of bicycling in Duarte, and here for recent news on how the SGV Greenways Plan impacts the future of bicycling in the city.

#DamienTalks is supported by Foothill Transit, offering car-free travel throughout the San Gabriel Valley with connections to the new Gold Line Stations across the Foothills and Commuter Express lines traveling into the heart of downtown L.A.
