Dear San Luis Obispo City Council Members,
Please approve the additional funding required to create the North Chorro Neighborhood
Greenway.
As a cyclist, pedestrian, motorist and inhabitant of San Luis Obispo, I see the need to
continue developing the infrastructure necessary to make our city less dependent on driving.
We need to create a city where all neighborhoods are safe for walking and biking. The North
Chorro Greenway promotes this safety in several ways. It gives school children a safe way to
get to school by cycling which creates a lifelong habit of using the bicycle as transportation. It
also makes walking at night under the freeway underpass safer and more enjoyable.
Please do not allow the project to stagnate. It has been five years since it was approved. If
you wait to implement it, the project will only get more expensive. The funds are available
now so please use them.
I live on Peach Street near the new Phillips bike bridge. It has been wonderful to see how
much use the bridge is getting. It allows cyclists and pedestrians a safe route to get to Cal
Poly from downtown and people are using it and loving it. We need more safe routes that
keep bicycles away from cars. If you build it, we will use it.
To conclude, I'm asking you to take action and approve the necessary funding to complete the
North Chorro Greenway project. It will not only promote a healthy and active lifestyle, but
also ensure the safety of all our community members, no matter their mode of travel. We have
the plans. We have the money. Let's get this project done!
Thank you for considering my input on this matter.
Sincerely
1
Liz Córdoba
