Call for Bike Lanes.

Dear Councilor/Mayor:

I am a relatively new resident of Montclair. Hurray – lovely parks, great restaurants, interesting people but wait…no bike lanes? I am so surprised that a supposedly “progressive” town like ours has not even a single bike lane. As I’m sure you’re aware, bike lanes aren’t just for people who ride bikes! They provide safety for cyclists, as well as pedestrians and people who use other types of wheels; when streets are designed to include bike lanes they CALM traffic, making life better for everyone including car drivers.

Slower traffic = safer streets. It’s a win for us, for our fitness levels, for local businesses, and for the environment. I’m asking that you take concrete action and bring Montclair into the 21st century! Your voters are watching.

Respectfully,
