Subject:I Support Protected Bike Lanes
Dear Mayor and Council,
I want to express my support for the Anholm bikeway plan that includes protected bike lanes. As staff have stated during
several previous meetings, protected bike lanes are the most likely to attract more people to ride their bike. As a
community we have made it a priority to reduce the number of single occupancy vehicle trips and give our community
the opportunity to make healthier transportation choices. There is a plethora of reasons why more people biking
benefits our community and environment. For a century our streets we designed only to accommodate cars which has
led to some serious environmental and health impacts that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. I want to
help make the shift for the greater good of our community and hope you will make the tough to decision to rethink the
way we utilize our public right of ways.
Paul Reinhardt
