Dear City Council,
I'm writing to encourage you to use unallocated funds from the budget to update the South Broad Street Plan to
improve safety for people who walk and bike.
While I do not ride my bike on South Broad often, when I do it feels very uncomfortable with the un-protected bike
lanes and high speed traffic.
Last fall my 6 year old son played soccer at the Damon-Garcia fields off Broad every weekend. Our family chose to drive
a car rather than bike due to the unsafe conditions on Broad for people who bike. This trip is only 3 miles from our home
which is easy on an E-Bike but without safe infrastructure we and other families I know who usually bike will opt to use a
vehicle.
Thank you for your consideration and for all that you do!
