Dear Committee Members,
Thank you for your hard work on this plan.
As a life-long bicycle commuter, I’ve always considered my choice to bicycle as a risky option that I take
because of the happiness it brings me. I know that many people choose not to bicycle for fear of being hit by a
car and killed… the fate of many of our bicycle community. We shouldn’t have to choose between safety and
bicycling.
I look forward to seeing protected bike lanes as a main priority of this plan. I support this list of Tier 1 projects
to encourage more ridership which will be crucial to meeting our climate action, mode shift, vision zero, equity,
diversity, and inclusivity goals. In order to create this positive and healthy transition away from single occupant
vehicle use, we must ensure that people can access their homes, jobs, schools, social engagements, and other
daily necessities safely and comfortably by bike or walking. I encourage you to support the plan's implantation
approach.
Thank you,
Pete

Can the pandemic inform us how to prepare for the “new normal” on the other side of Covid-19?
