GrassRoot Ohio- Urban Bike Lanes w/ Craig Ness & Stephanie Pasamonte

Carolyn Harding with Craig Ness and Stephanie Pasamonte, bike lane advocates in the Columbus Metro region.

Craig Ness is a transit advocate who resides in Bexley, Ohio. He has been a member of the Bexley Bike Plan Steering Committee since 2019 and uses cycling as a primary means of transportation. Craig holds a bachelor's degree in Sociology from Wake Forest University and is currently employed as a user experience designer. He is a member of a local collective called Safe Routes Bexley which promotes traffic calming and transit alternatives.

Stephanie Pasamonte is a transit and mobility advocate living in Columbus, Ohio. Their work is informed by their lived experience in cities and small towns across the country. After immigrating from the Philippines in the early 90s, Stephanie and their family have largely depended on public transportation to get around. Their primary focus is on increasing mobility options as a means of achieving racial and economic equity and building sustainable communities in the era of climate change. Stephanie is the Vice Chair of Transit Columbus and a volunteer transit organizer with the Ohio Sierra Club.

Last week I attended the Bexley city council meeting. There was a presentation of two redevelopment options for Drexel Avenue, Bexley’s main artery from Broad Street to Main Street, which is Bexley’s civic, business, and university district. Plan B included a designated bike lane, Plan A did not. As a resident, a city biker, and an environmental advocate, I went to the council mtg to learn. And I left the meeting, realizing that changing infrastructure is complicated, controversial and galvanizing. So, let’s look at this more deeply.
