Subject:Protected Bike Lanes
Dear Committee Members,
As a daily bicycle commuter, my regular route to work has areas where the bike lanes are squeezed
by traffic and certainly not as visible or safe as they should be. The lack of effective protected lanes
stops many families in our area feeling safe to ride on these routes with children.
Thank you and staff for your hard work on this plan. I am really excited to see 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 mush 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,
Matt Moerman
