Dear San Luis Obispo City Council Members,
I am writing to express my continued support for the North Chorro Neighborhood
Greenway. Please move this project forward and vote to fully fund it.
Since the City Council approved this project, a very small number of residents have
repeated the false rhetoric that the City Council did not listen to the residents on this
matter. If this false rhetoric pops up again today or tonight, please ignore it due to the
evidence provided by the official record.
Indeed, the official record of correspondence for the City Council’s 9/4/2018 meeting
reveals that, at that time, a super majority of city residents supported “protected bike lanes
and safer sidewalks” in this Greenway plan. Even when one considers only the
correspondence of adult Anholm residents, there was a super majority that supported this
Greenway plan. Based on the official correspondence that I read late last night, it appears
that the majority of residents support full funding of this Greenway.
I am a 23-year resident of SLO and have lived on the north side of Foothill since 2002. My
wife, two children and I look forward to using the Greenway as we ride our bikes to,
among other places, SLO High School, our jobs, and downtown shopping. We are
frustrated by the slow development of this project while we continue to be harassed and
threatened by car drivers on the roads that this Greenway will improve for bicyclists and
pedestrians.
Thank you for considering my opinion,
Steve Klisch
North Foothill neighborhood, SLO
