I am pleased to announce that after two years of trying we finally have access to the CDTA/CDPHP Bike share program in Scotia.? This means that?you can have access to this fleet of quality bicycles and, for a small fee, take it anywhere in our business district or anywhere in Schenectady and lock it and leave it.? We have installed bike racks for these at our Village Green (140 Mohawk Avenue) and at the?Village Docks by Freedom?Park but the bikes can be locked anywhere within the service area.? Our Complete Streets program for making the Village more friendly for biking and walking will be boosted by the presence of these bikes.? Please check out the app and start using the bikes.
Tom Gifford, Mayor
