As temperatures cool, we see more cyclists on the streets. Some ride
bicycles for fun or ride to commute to work. And while bicycling is
great for both recreation and commuting, there are dangers when motor
vehicles are nearby.
Distracted car drivers and bike lane encroachment are two common causes
of bike injuries and fatalities.
One resident said, "I got pulled over by the police once on my bike
ride home, and he told me to ride on the sidewalk (even though that's
illegal in Phoenix) because 'it's not a matter of if, but when
you'll get hit on the street'."
As your Councilwoman, I will expand biking infrastructure
****to include
****protected bike lanes with concrete buffers, improved urban design
for green space, and bike-specific traffic signals for high-traffic
areas.
Â
One resident said, "I have to put my bike in a car to go to Scottsdale
to ride safely. Ridiculous."
You should be able to ride safely in your own neighborhood.
It is my priority to keep our cyclists safe as they exercise, ride to
your favorite neighborhood café for breakfast or a family trip to the
park.
**With your help we can really make a difference.**
**As you know, ideas, vision and hard work alone won't win this race.
To get our message out to the voters, it will take financial
resources.**
