I'm writing to encourage the San Luis Obispo City Council to adopt the preferred alternative of the Anholm Bikeway (Broad Street Bicycle Boulevard) proposal. The preferred alternative creates safer streets for everyone—people who drive cars, people who ride bikes, and people who walk. The Lincoln Street alternative doesn't do enough to raise ridership or increase safety for riders.

Additionally, the preferred alternative will play a major role in providing Safe Routes to School for students attending Bishop's Peak and Pacheco Elementary schools.

Thank you for working to make SLO a better place to live.
