Hello,
I am part of a group of concerned residents asking that unallocated funds from the mid-year budget review, Item 6A, be
set aside to hire a traffic engineer to update the study that was done for the South Broad Street Plan, adopted in 2014,
and make recommendations for improving the safety of the South Broad Street Corridor, specifically as it relates to
reducing the speed of drivers and improving safety for all road users and access for those that walk and bike.
I am currently engaged to a wonderful woman who is not an experienced or confident cyclist. Many times she chooses to
drive even though she wants to ride her bike due to the real and perceived dangers of riding through "car first"
infrastructure. Projects like these are important to get more people out of their cars and enjoying the SLO life!
