Thursday evening, I went to Councilmember Lisa Kaplan’s Community Conversations as District 1’s Active Transportation Commissioner. All but one of the Commissioners attended.
We each had a table and supplies to gather feedback. I did a bit of advertising for May is Bike Month.
People kept meandering in for the next 30 minutes until the room was quite full.
Speaking is Councilmember Lisa Kaplan. To her right, the Chief of Police and someone from the Department of Finance to explain how the City is dealing with a budget deficit.
Hurray for feedback. Comments asked for improved bus service, safety improvements for pedestrians and cyclists and a bicycle-pedestrian bridge over I-5 connecting the west side of N Natomas to the east side between Del Paso Rd and Arena Blvd. Locally we call it the Snowy Egret Bridge. Now that the idea has been officially floated by CLK (who has already talked about this project with our US Congressman Ami Bera), we are now a mere 10-24 years away from completion. If everything moves along at a reasonable pace, I will get to ride over Snowy Egret bike/ped bridge some time between ages 85 and 99.
