Date: August 18, 2020
Greetings Madam Mayor and Council Members!
As the Board President and Executive Director of Bike SLO County, we offer you our gratitude
for favorable collaborations that make our city more rewarding for all. Of the many ongoing and
beneficial relationships, we have with the City of San Luis Obispo such as providing bike
education to community members through programs like Safe Routes to School, Bike Rodeos,
the RideWell program (training, education, lights, locks, and a bike!) for economically
disadvantaged people, and most recently the invitation to assist in the design of a bike plaza on
Monterey Street at Morro Street.
We now celebrate good fortune again in the lease renewal negotiations with the City Manager
and the City’s Parking Services Program for our Bike Kitchen space on Morro Street and Pacific
Street. This location has been and will remain an important hub for community bicycle activity
through service, repair, and education. We are grateful for the financial considerations you have
offered us in these challenging times. It truly indicates how much our city leaders value
collaboration as we move forward toward recovery and vitality.
Yours,
Gary Havas Rick Ellison
President, Bike SLO County Executive Director
