Dear Cyclists and Wannabes,
S5711B – the stalled Senate bill calling for a “complete streets” approach to road design in New York State needs your help. The bill has been sitting in the transportation committee since May 2010. It passed the Assembly.
I hope you will check out the bill at http://open.nysenate.gov/legislation/bill/S5711A. Then, write a letter (sample attached) or send an e-mail urging the Senators to (1) get the bill out of committee and (2) approve it on the Senate floor.
Note to PHNA-ers – I wrapped Madison Ave. into the letter, so it’ll be an easy edit for you! With Complete Streets in law, the MAC will be reinforced as the right way to go!
