Then, features reporter Scott Hewitt talks to hosts Dameon Pesanti and Katie Gillespie about the Vancouver Bicycle and Pedestrian Stakeholder Group’s 11-mile policy ride to show local policymakers what trouble spots exist in the city’s bike infrastructure.
Then, Ashley Swanson brings her usual list of events in your weekend ahead, including the Craft Beer and Wine Fest and Get Outdoors Day at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.
