Gallatin Police Department
The Pedal for Paws begins at the Gallatin Civic Center. Before getting onto quieter roads the cyclists must use four miles of city streets, including a mile on Broadway, one of Gallatin’s busiest streets with no rideable shoulder. Gallatin Police officers control traffic on these roads until all cyclists are on quieter roads. Most of these officers are members of Gallatin’s bicycle patrol who understand what is needed for the cyclists safety. They also erect electronic signs in strategic locations to warn drivers of cyclists presence.
It’s no exaggeration to say Pedal for Paws could not be done in it’s current form without the support of Gallatin Police.
