Other communities have realized significant benefits, both economically and physically by asustained commitment to alternative transportation, and to bicycling in particular. Successful community models include: Eugene, Oregon; Annandale, Virginia; Davis, California and Santa Cruz= California. In San Luis Obispo's case, our community can realize an improved quality of life by promoting cycling to those able. Less noise, . reduced traffic congestion, reduced parking problems, lower air pollution and improved health and SAFETY are just a few guaranteed results of a sustained commitment to bike lanes. For a sustained commitment, we need consistent funding and regular improvements to the current system of bike lanes we already have. The proposed budget does not provide enough funding for regular improvements. Even with an augmented level of funding, there is no guarantee that improvements to the existing network of bike lanes will be made. That is why I would also ask you to support the addition of a full time Bike Transit/Alternative Transit Coordinator to the city staff. This person ought to act as a liaison to the various cycling and alternative transportation organizations, advancing projects through the city planning process as well as educating the general public on the community benefits of cycling and alternative transportation. I hope that you and the rest of the City Council will take action to rectify this situation. Let's keep the roads SAFE and useable for everyone. ����e ye - 1ll!��! t.:• Pete Nortman N LUIS Concerned San Luis Obispo Citizen/Cyclist, Registered Vader Servicesmental D.

For example, the current proposed City budget provides funding of $215,300 for community promotions and $112,400 for economic stability activities . Because there is such a strong tie between our environment (quality of life) and ecomonic 'development/community promotions, we feel it is time the City recognize this relationship and fund environmental education/information services . The City took a leadership role relative to the environment twenty years ago (1972) when it allowed ECOSLO to use a small portion of the fire department training grounds for a non-profit recycling effort . Now it is time that the City recognize the community ' s greatly expanded concerns and aspirations about the environment (quality of life) by supporting a local environmental information center similar in nature to the Chamber's Visitor information center. The environmental information center would be for all residents of the city as well as visitors . Even thought ECOSLO has been around for nearly 20 years, the Center (in downtown SLO) was only reconstituted in Dec . 1990 . The public concern about the Environment and their demand for information has far out stripped ECOSLO' s ability to provide it . The city needs to accept and be willing to fund environmental awareness as well as economic development and community promotions. HISTORY OF ECOSLO: For 20 years, the Environmental Center of San Luis Obispo has existed as the only real public presence representing our various commitments to an environmentally friendly quality of life on the Central Coast . While our most noticeable work has been the recycling services on Prado Road, ECOSLO has none the less, represented abstractly the collective conscience of environmental efforts countywide . ECOSLO is a private, non-profit corporation, established in 1982 to advocate environmentally sound policy for the Central Coast. It is governed by a 7 member Board of Trustees and operates strictly from funds collected from it ' s recycling operations, membership dues and donations.
