Re: Support FOR North Chorro Neighborhood Greenway
I am writing to voice my strong support FOR the Chorro Neighborhood Greenway project.
As a resident of the neighborhood, I am in favor of the City constructing a protected bike lane and making it
safer to walk along Chorro Street freeway underpass into downtown. Currently, biking and walking along this
corridor is unsafe, especially at night. I will not allow my wife or family to walk the corridor after dark because
of poor lighting and safety issues.
Yes, some in my neighborhood may be inconvenienced, but the benefits from the project – bicycle and
commuter safety, reduction in greenhouse gases by improving non-vehicular commuting options, and making
it easier for residents and students to access downtown for shopping and dining – are overwhelming positive
and demand decisive action.
I urge the City Council to approve the Chorro Neighborhood Greenway project and move forward forthwith.
Sincerely,
Tim Northrop
