Subject:Adopt the Anholm Bikeway Resolution
Dear Mayor and Council,
I urge you to adopt the revised resolution approving the Anholm Bicycle Plan. My family is only one of many living north
of Foothill who continue to support the Council's earlier decision to move forward with this project.
We have long dreamed of a safe and inviting bicycle route connecting our neighborhood, including the Bishop's Peak
and Pacheco school areas, to the downtown core. We have long advocated––respectfully and consistently, over many
years––for needed changes to our roadways so our children can travel safely across our city on their own steam.
We realize this has been a contentious issue for a vocal group in the Anholm district who naturally care deeply about
preserving the status quo in their neighborhood. The Council must find the courage to move this city toward a safer,
more convivial, and more environmentally responsible future, one that best meets our stated city goals and treats the
roadways as a public commons that should be designed for the good of the whole community. Please adopt the
resolution as presented tonight.
Respectfully,
Marty Rippens
San Luis Obispo
