Subject:Bike share program
Good morning,
I was listening to the radio this morning, and learned about the City Council's considerations of a bike-share
program in SLO. While I live in Morro Bay, I wanted to also comment. This is a wonderful plan; however I hope
you will choose an option that requires docking. You are likely already aware that many large cities, including
San Diego, San Francisco and Portland have used dockless bikes that led to numerous problems. In San Diego,
this resulted in a class-action lawsuit, due to the problems that people with disabilities have when bikes are
simply parked anywhere on the sidewalks. In particular, people who use wheelchairs, and people who are
blind, have challenges with this.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Pam Dougherty
