Candidates on the Nov. 5 ballot and what they think of biking and walking

Bike and Walk the Vote on Tuesday, November 5! #race4pgh

Since the beginning of the year, we’ve been working on our We walk We Bike We Vote campaign, focusing around the Mayor and Council primary and election cycle.  We collected thousands of signatures from Pittsburghers who want a more bikeable, walkable, and safer city.

In addition, we worked on organizing a Mayoral Candidates Debate, as a member of the Greenspace Alliance, as well as collecting questionnaires about biking and walking issues from as many City Council candidates that we could get ahold of.

Candidates won, candidates lost, candidates dropped out. Below are the responses from the winners, who will appear on the November 5 ballot.
