Dear Mr. Dunin: ��,_ 4
I am writing you because I am concerned about the proposed city
budget, particularly that the proposed funding level for bicycle
lanes and bikeways is being cut over 92% from its current
$200,000 per year to a meager $15,000 per year.
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.

FUNDING REQUEST �T� LA "
FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL CENTER OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
BACKGROUND:
For years San Luis Obispo has openly supported economic
development and tourist promotion. 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.
