Subject:Anholm Bikeway
Dear SLO City Council,
I am sending this email to voice my support for the Anholm Bikeway project. I understand that this is a difficult
decision and unpopular with a very vocal group of residents, who will of course be affected by the changes to
create a bikeway for all residents. But so will the rest of us who live in SLO and we deserve the same careful
consideration to make SLO a safer, more bike-friendly city to live.
I would prefer to ride a bike with my family and enjoy the benefits of living in a smaller city. However, I I
currently do not feel safe riding a bike from where I live near Foothill to downtown SLO. With all do respect, this
is not a resident versus bike riding minority issue. This is a community issue. There are many of us who want
to ride and walk more than drive our cars; and when we drive our cars, be sure that pedestrians and bike riders
are safe.
Also, with a growing population and climate change, we can't keep pushing hard decisions down the road. The
time to act for a sustainable future is now.
Thank you for your consideration and for all of the work you do to make SLO a safe, happy city.
Sincerely,
Kaila Bussert
