Subject:I support protected bike lanes and safer sidewalks
Dear Mayor and Council,
I want to express my support for the Anholm Bikeway plan that includes protected bike
lanes. As city 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.
Sincerely,
Your Name
Geoff Nichols
