Subject:Bike plan revision
Good morning,
I am learning that the meeting tonight includes more discussion on the proposed bike path through our lovely Anholm
neighborhood.
I also keep hearing the term “for bicyclists AND pedestrians”.
I do hope you will give very serious consideration to pedestrians. As a resident of Anholm, and someone who walks
everywhere, I have experienced the lack of safe walking infrastructure.
I have pushed my ill husband in his wheelchair (in the street) and pushed/pulled my grand babies in strollers and wagons
(also in the street), because there are no ADA curbs. The sidewalks are cracked and narrow, very poorly lit, and have
inadequate crosswalks.
I implore you to give some consideration to the kids and adults who walk within our neighborhood, and move up the
phase in your plan that would make these improvements. This would improve quality of life for all, not just a few
bicyclists.
And, if you’d like to see what I’m talking about, I’d be glad to arrange a wheelchair and stroller (with riders) for you to try
to maneuver through our neighborhood. Let me know when convenient for you.
Thank you,
Debbie Anthony
