Hello San Luis Obispo city council members,
On behalf of my family and fellow neighbors on Lawrence Drive we are asking the Council to please consider 6A for
proposed improvements to the section of Broad Street between South Street and Orcutt Road.
A. Appropriate $400k from the Infrastructure Investment Fund to support
staffing needs for the Broad Street ATP with the Mid-Year Budget and
approval of this funding for carryover through FY 2023-24 and into FY
2024-25.
With the population density increasing exponentially in this area and a major increase in traffic due to an increase in
housing, changes to traffic management are desperately needed to bring the level of safety for pedestrians, cyclists and
motorists back to an acceptable level. It is currently a very dangerous stretch of roadway. A reduction in the speed limit,
solid median sections, additional traffic signals and a protected bicycle lane are all needed improvements to protect all
members of our community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jeff Brown
286 Lawrence Drive
