February 1 City Council Meeting: Item 16. Adoption of the Active Transportation Plan
Greetings Mayor Harmon and Council Members Pease, Christianson, Stewart, and Marx!
Bike SLO County is pleased to offer its support for the 2021 Active Transportation Plan (ATP). We feel
that this robust document will serve our community as we move forward with our 2035 climate goals and in
particular, will support shifting trips in a car to those on a bike or on foot. While this document seeks to
address detailed solutions and shifts, we appreciate the latitude staff recommends that will allow this
document the resilience it needs in our changing environment.
Bike SLO County recognizes the balance now between a well-drafted Active Transportation Plan and
funding the projects within it. The next major step will be to implement the Tier 1 Projects listed. Bike SLO
County urges Council to dedicate the financial means during the coming ‘21-’23 Budget Cycle to build out
a few of these projects.
Respectively submitted for your consideration.
