Subject:Support for Top City Goals
Dear Mayor Harmon and Council Members, I support adopting Climate Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and
Housing Affordability as major city goals. Active transportation is important to me, and I believe the goals I have
mentioned require a substantial investment in active transportation infrastructure. The Climate Action Plan relies on active
transportation to reduce carbon emissions. DEI would benefit from protected bike lanes and safer sidewalks as an
equitable way for people not using motor vehicles to travel safely. Housing Affordability is important because I feel we
cannot expect people to bike and walk to their work or school or places of interest if they cannot afford to live near those
places. After adopting these major goals, I want to see Active Transportation Plan Tier 1 projects immediately considered
in the FY 21-23 budget cycle so that we can see the real benefits of active transportation in our city. Thank you, Jeff
Foster, SLO.
