Wall Street Journal: New PAC to Back Pedestrians, Bikes

The Wall Street Journal interviewed Steve Vaccaro about the creation of StreetsPAC, the livable streets political action committee.

A group of activists who favor the city’s recent investments in bike lanes, pedestrian-only street plazas and other urban elements that don’t cater to cars have a plan for ensuring the movement continues: a political-action committee.

The group will announce the launch of StreetsPAC on Thursday, and has already secured about $30,000 in pledges from supporters, organizers said.
