Dear City Council and Planning Commission,
I am writing to express my support for the Active Transportation Plan as unanimously recommended by the
Active Transportation Committee. I support the list of Tier 1 projects and protected bike lanes throughout San
Luis Obispo. These projects will encourage more ridership and are crucial to meeting our climate action, mode
shift, vision zero, equity, diversity, and inclusivity goals.
I am a bike commuter and recreational mountain biker. My wife and son are also often on their bikes around
town. We appreciate the benefits of bicycle transportation and the existing amenities in town that support it,
in particular the safety aspects of the bike boulevard.
I urge you to support the Active Transportation Plan as recommended by the Active Transportation Committee
without major revisions. I want to see these Tier 1 projects considered in the FY21-23 budget cycle without
delay so that we can further develop active transportation in our city.
Thank you,
Steven Skapinsky
San Luis Obispo
