By The Numbers: Spring in Charlotte (Charlotte Magazine)
$2,935: The amount of money raised by Plaza Midwood resident Ramez Tadros—through GoFundMe and sponsors Sustain Charlotte and Birdsong Brewing—to pay for a Bike Lane Sweeper. Tadros got tired of debris in the bike lanes near his home, so he found a Portland, Oregon-based company that makes the sweepers, which users can attach to the backs of their bikes. It’s kept at the Innovation Barn in the Belmont neighborhood and available for free checkout.
