We’re advocating for $2.5 million in funding for bike infrastructure and maintenance in the City’s FY2019 budget.
The funding will help the City set realistic goals for a bike network expansion that can be delivered in a single political term. At approximately $100,000 per mile, the City could build 20 miles of bike lanes annually. Along with projects funded by other sources, this would help meet our goal of 200 miles of bikeways by 2021 -- while also setting aside $500,000 annually for maintenance.
Let's make sure the City budget reflects our future priorities. Tell your council member to #Budget4Bikes before the Monday, June 18 council meeting!
