James Powell, PLA

I got my first bike when I was 7 years old. Despite growing up in the sprawl of the suburbs, biking and walking were integral to my childhood. Later, I began to see the complexities of getting around without a car and see the influence that the built environment could have on my willingness to ride instead of drive. I have seen the biking movement continue to grow, yet there is so much more to be done. Luckily, there is no better place to do it than at Alta.
