HomeMy WebLinkAbout1/23/2019 Item 1, Harris From:Adrienne Harris < To:E-mail Council Website Subject:Input for City Planning Dear SLO City Council, As a city resident, I participated in the online poll regarding city priorities for the next budget cycle over a month ago. I also want to bring three items to your attention now to be included in those conversations or others within the city divisions. 1.) Multi-modal Transportation: Addressing bike safety on South Higuera St. from LOVR to downtown. It is my understanding that the bike plan doesn’t include options for bike lanes on South Higuera in this area of town. With new housing developments planned around this area and a new public market being developed at the corner of Tank Farm and S. Higuera, it will be even more important to ensure safety for this form of transportation along South Higuera. I urge the city to consider separated bike lanes along South Higuera between LOVR and Madonna Rd or another solution that makes it safe for families to bike in the area. 2.) Multi-modal Transportation: Creating the Bob Jones Trail connection south of LOVR. It is my understanding that the city is responsible for developing this portion of the Bob Jones Trail. I hope that you will include funds for this project in your next budget. 3.) Other: Ensure consideration of the need for quality, affordable child care facilities for working families within the General Plan. Ensure that there are incentives to include these types of facilities within development plans in the future. Thank you for your hard work on behalf of our community. Kind Regards, Adrienne Harris 1
