How can we bring the park into the city, closer to everyone’s doorstep?

In response to the unsafe and stressful traffic conditions Miso, Bayonne Green co-founder, experienced on his first bike ride off the sidewalk in Bayonne, he launched a survey and a series of impromptu, informal street conversations where he asked micromobility users and pedestrians about their street safety concerns. Responses showed that risk tolerance is the biggest barrier to micromobility participation.

This survey uncovered a broader sentiment that bike lanes require giving up something that is in very high demand in exchange for something that does not deliver enough value to enough people. At the same time, there was resounding agreement that the park is a nice place to bike.
