Summary
Mayor Clea McCaw announced Sierra Vista’s renewal as a bronze-level Bicycle Friendly Community, the installation of a solar charging station at the public library on Feb. 17 and ongoing multi-use path construction including Buffalo Soldier Trail and a completed segment on Highway 92.
Sierra Vista Mayor Clea McCaw told KWCD listeners the League of American Bicyclists renewed the city’s bronze-level Bicycle Friendly Community designation and described several local projects intended to improve biking and walking infrastructure.
"They have renewed the city's designation as the bronze level bicycle friendly community," McCaw said, noting the recognition reflects commitments to bicycle safety, inclusion and education. She highlighted recently completed work on the multi-use path on Highway 92 from Foothills to Avenida Cochise and ongoing construction on Buffalo Soldier Trail, and she urged motorists to slow down near active work zones.
McCaw also announced the city will install its first solar charging station at the public library on Feb. 17 as part of efforts to promote alternative transportation and responsible resource management. She encouraged residents to use library and trail resources once projects are finished and said the Buffalo Soldier Trail path is expected to be complete in spring.
The mayor promoted several community events: the animal shelter’s eighteenth-anniversary open house on Feb. 14 (noon–4 p.m.) with free adoptions, and a traveling museum stop and art contest tied to Arizona’s 250th celebration on March 12. Officials said more details will be posted on the city website and social channels.
