RE: Bicycle Paths
Mayor of San Luis Obispo
City Councilman
Bicycle Committee
I live on the corner of Church and Morro on the Morro Street bicycle path. The city of
SLO continues to accommodate the bicycle at what cost. Has anyone ever completed a
study on how much Morro is used for bicycles. My observation is it used very little in
comparison to bicycles you see on Osos. If we are going to have bicycles paths the
bicycles should be forced to use them. Now the city is again planning another
significant bicycle path near Chorro. Like the path on Morro when a street is closed it
forces the traffic to other streets and significantly impacts other areas. I appreciate that
SLO wants to be bicycle friendly but at what cost to other citizens. Many citizens do not
choose or cannot ride a bicycle for transportation.
Please plan better and rethink any bicycle path that is going to impact Chorro. I own
property on the corner of Chorro and Peach and the traffic is horrible. I believe the city
will be making it worse by modifying or closing off streets near by. If you make Chorro
one way won’t it make the traffic faster (option 2 on plans)? Thank you for your time.
