I’m writing to express my support for the construction of the North Chorro Neighborhood greenway.
It’s been a long road, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, now that the city has identified funds to match the
higher-than-hoped-for bid for the project. I know that many bicyclists support this project, and indeed, I’m one of them,
but I would like to highlight the fact that I enjoyed a walk home with my family a few nights ago from downtown to the
Foothill neighborhood; this is genuinely not a long walk, but it’s one that would feel a WHOLE LOT SAFER with the
pedestrian improvements planned for in this project.
Honestly, I think the single largest benefit of this project will be to make Chorro a slower-paced, more pleasant street to
be on. I think we’ve started to see how we can make choices that favor transportation alternatives other than CARS
CARS CARS, and I’m hoping we can move forward on this.
Many thanks,
John Clements
