Subject:Anholm Bikeway Plan
Dear Mayor Harmon and Council Members,
I am writing in support of the Preferred Option for the Anholm Bikeway plan. This option is safer for people on bikes,
people walking and people driving cars. More people on bikes means fewer people driving cars in and through our
community.
In listening to and reading the objections that some residents of the Anholm district have raised in regards to the
improvements that the Preferred Option will bring to their neighborhood, most are related more to cars rather than to
people on bikes. These residents have pointed to the lack of parking on the public streets, speed of cars above the
posted limits and difficulty accessing the public roadway from their driveways because of the volume of car traffic.
Without infrastructure improvements like the Preferred Option that increase the use and safety of bikes and walking
and ultimately decrease our reliance on private vehicles within our city limits, these issues will not change, and they may
in fact get worse
I urge you to continue in your commitment to the priorities that you have set out for our community, including the
Climate Action Plan, Vision Zero and the 20% mode share of the LUCE. Projects like the Anholm Bikeway Plan will help us
meet those priorities and goals. We are relying on you to hold to those commitments that will make our city liveable,
safe and welcoming.
Regards,
Chris McBride
