The last time Naperville updated its bike plan, 19-year-old Riley Leu was barely a toddler. Now she and a group of climate-minded young adults are devoted to seeing the plan mature with them.
Accelerate interns are devising their bikeability recommendations with the hope they’ll be considered and even integrated into any bike-related projects or plans the city adopts.
“I think right now (the goal) is to get (the city) to listen,” said Leu, who will be a sophomore at Iowa State University in the fall.
Founded in 2023, Accelerate seeks to help community members, businesses and organizations in Naperville and Aurora access the resources they need to become more sustainable and combat climate change.
