Subject:Anholm Bikeway Item tomorrow night
Dear Mayor and Council,
Please adopt the resolution that will be presented tomorrow night and that was agreed upon
during the Feb 20th meeting. I believe this resolution is an accurate reflection of your intent after a
lengthy public comment on Feb 6th.
I understand and respect the decision to put forward a new resolution for approval tomorrow
night, even though there was no wrong-doing in the adoption of the previous resolution. This
Council has made it very clear that it appreciates public participation and respects the interests of
all residents. As such, please continue to respect the multi-year planning process that has already
occurred related to this project. Through this lengthy and careful process, City staff took into
account desires of all interested parties and came up with a recommendation that included
separated bike paths, enhanced pedestrian walkways as well as parking needs and traffic flow in
the neighborhood. Community members from all interests in the community have taken part in
this well-run process conducted by City staff. As you continue to review possibilities during Phase II
for the Lincoln to Ramona section, please take these overwhelming community sentiments to
heart. The people that have participated in this process from the beginning, overwhelmingly
support the City's multi-modal transportation goals and want to see city infrastructure changes
that support those goals, as well as safe routes to schools and enhancements to make their
neighborhoods less congested. I know I personally look forward to further discussions to improve
the Chorro to Ramona section of this Plan.
Please adopt the resolution as presented tomorrow night..that's the first step. Then please direct
staff to formulate additional options for the area in question, to be discussed as soon as possible.
Thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
Michelle Shoresman
