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.
