This is a topic that is very close to my heart as I cycle to work every day. Baltimore City is in the process of developing a Bicycle Master plan They have also just released the results from a public survey on were bike routes should be created and released the Preliminary Route Network Map.
Support the new bike lanes in South Baltimore by Greg Hinchliffe
The city is installing bike lanes on Fort Ave in South Baltimore.
YAY !
This is a nice safety enhancement for riders going to Locust Pt and Ft McHenry.
Local residents are up in arms complaining about the improvement to their community.
BOO !
What can they be thinking?
Please counter their noisy complaining with email, calls, letters of thanks and support of this and future bike enhancements to:
mayor@baltimorecity.gov,
al.foxx@baltimorecity.gov,
otis.rolley@baltimorecity.gov,
sdixon@baltimorecitycouncil.com,
ereisinger@baltimorecitycouncil.com (it’s in his district) and
your own councilperson firstinitiallastname@baltimorecitycouncil.com
We’ll never get the bike enhancements we want and deserve if we let a bunch of NIMBY’s have the say.
Feel free to forward as you wish.
Greg Hinchliffe
Chairman, Mayor’s Bicycle Advisory Committee
