Subject:Supporting Anholm Bikeway
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 an excellent way to reduce parking congestion and vehicle traffic along Broad.
I can speak from my own experience, and several of my colleagues who have to drive into work, and park on Chorro in the
neighborhood area, each morning. Biking along Broad during the commute hours feels extremely risky. Drivers race around corners,
vehicles pull out of parallel parking spots quickly, individuals open up their car doors without looking as they talk on their cell
phones... I personally know of at least 15 to 20 people who are currently just driving a few miles a day into downtown, that would all
ride their bikes, if a safer plan was put in place.
Sincerely,
Alex McClure
