Episode Details

Mike Johnston marks the halfway point in his four-year term as mayor this week, and some of his campaign’s biggest supporters are now big mad. The bike community, in particular, has been buzzing about the mayor’s decision to remove some bike lane infrastructure, so host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are looking at how his recent comments around the issue compare to his promises on the campaign trail. Plus, a bike safety campaign takes over Wash Park, an anonymous city staffer shares a comment on a recent episode, and Bree has feelings to share about her recent trip to Lakeside Amusement Park.
