Thank you for your letter concerning the death U.S. Senate candidate Natasha Pettigrew and improved biking conditions for cyclists. My deepest sympathy goes out to the friends and family of Natasha.
The Maryland General Assembly passed legislation during the 2010 Session that provided more protections for cyclists. I voted for those improvements. The legislation that you have recommended for introduction would fall under the purview of the Judiciary Committee to which I will forward your concerns. In the meantime, should you have any other thoughts or concerns, please feel free to contact my office.
Sincerely,
Delegate Adrienne A. Jones
Speaker Pro Tem
Maryland House of Delegates
10th Legislative District
