Cause: |
C FS money has been used to purchase "Share The Road" and Bike Caution road signs in past years. In 2017, MTR used funds to support Adopt A Highway on Germantown Parkway. In 2013, MTR gave checks for $2500 to the cities of Germantown and Collierville for additional signage and bike lanes. In 2016, proceeds purchased six "Share The Road" signs in Lakeland, TN. In 2018, road signs were purchased for the Town of Somerville and free "Share the Road" car stickers were distributed at LBS. For 5 years, the Safe Cycling billboard continues to remind drivers of giving 3 feet when passing cyclists.
