Bike Cleveland’s mission is to advocate for safer streets for everyone, making them as welcoming to for cyclists and pedestrians as cars. The 2022 documentary The Street Project is right in line with that mission. So Bike Cleveland will be sponsoring a screening of the film at Forest City Brewery.
The filmmakers traveled around the world, exploring the cycling scene from bike-friendly Europe to Phoenix, one of the most dangerous cities in America for bike riders, asking “how can we make our streets safer?” For four years they explored the causes of street accidents, the history of street use and how it’s changed, how cars changed street use, what constitutes effective street design, the impact of zoning laws and how victim blaming distracts from underlying issues. And it looks at the actions of citizens fighting for safer streets—citizens very much like those who support Bike Cleveland. They talk to experts and ordinary people who use the streets.
“Our creative vision for The Stret Project was to capture both the exhilaration of movement and the brutal realism of dangerous streets through the cinematic journey of our team’s quest for answers,” say the filmmakers.
Tickets to the screening are just $10 and include one beer or soda. The hour-long film, screening at 7, will be followed by a discussion.
