Dear San Luis Obispo City Council Members,
I was in a wheelchair from 2010-2017, it was an unexpected tragedy that I have overcome. Without wheelchair
ramps I could not go anywhere by myself. Until I was in a wheelchair I never knew what accessibility really
meant.
I urge your support for the North Chorro Neighborhood Greenway. Please approve the additional funding
required to make it happen.
The people who need this the most probably don’t even know they need it yet. As our community ages we
need to support walkers and people with safety concerns.
We're all eager to see it completed, and we're counting on you, our city council members, to prioritize it and
allocate the necessary funding to finish it.
I also want to mention that the Urban Greening grant and other funding sources account for $1.9M of the
project. If you delay, change, or reduce scope now, we potentially jeopardize those funds and lose out on
some great features of this project like improved crossing, better sidewalk, underpass lighting, and public art.
We can't let this opportunity or grant funding go to waste.
Thank you for all that you do,
Sincerely
Kristen Sky Murphy
