Executive Director of @bikeeasy. Co-owner of @TheDominoLA. Lover of (most things) New Orleans - even when that's only my porch & garden rn. Opinions are my own.
As part of the expansion of bikeways under the @movingNewOrleans Bikes initiative, crews began installing curbing along a popular stretch of the Behrman Hwy protected bike lanes. New curbing will be added to Garden Oaks Dr & Wall Blvd bike lanes in upcoming weeks. @CityOfNOLA
Don't worry, our Executive Director, @danfavre, isn't going anywhere! It appears there was a hack of some sort, and there's a false job listing going around.
We are not hiring for the ED position - we've already got someone! https://t.co/TNeMIUxUIY
