Subject:Prioritize Bike/Walk safety along the Foothill Corridor

Dear Active Transportation Committee,
As a resident in the neighborhood adjacent to Foothill Boulevard, I'm writing to express my support for the following:
Placing the Foothill corridor near the top of the Tier 1 project lists for long-term safety improvements, including
protected bike lanes
Use of any available funds for low-cost and quick-build projects to enhance safety infrastructure ASAP along the
Foothill corridor
We urgently need protected bike lanes along Foothill due to a recent history of fatalities and serious injuries. This
corridor is heavily used by community members including neighborhood residents, Bishop's Peak and Pacheco students
(including my 5th grade son), SLO High students (including my 10th grade son), and Cal Poly/Cuesta students, faculty,
and staff.
Thank you,
Marty Rippens
