From The Streets: Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn

Our latest installment in our From The Streets series is a conversation with Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn. The Mayor was attending the 2011 SWFBUD Bicycle Bash, where he hosted the “Buckhorn Bash Ride” around Flatwoods Park.

We start by asking Mayor Buckhorn about improving bicycling and pedestrian safety in Tampa.

Tampa Bay On Track greatly appreciates the chance to speak with Mayor Buckhorn. Look for interviews with St. Petersburg Council Member Leslie Curran and SWFBUD Director Alan Snel in the next few days on Tampa Bay On Track.
