VICTORY!
Your voices were heard! Council proposes motions to preserve Bikeways

Thank you to all who wrote letters, made phone calls, attended and spoke out to save Bikeways at the Special Council Meeting on Monday, May 18th.

It was due to your quick action and attention to this matter that City Council members Ed Reyes and Wendy Greuel both issued motions that are intended to assure the fate of Bikeway's funding.

More discussion will be held during upcoming Transportation Committee meetings and Budget and Finance Committee, so there are no guarantees yet, but it should mean all of the Bikeways positions and projects are safe for the next budget year.

We will continue to keep you updated.
