Re: Item 3B City Manager Report – Bike Action Plan and Vision Zero Update.
Dear Santa Monica Mayor, City Council and City Manager:

The City must continue the overwhelming community supported commitment to prioritize and protect vulnerable road users, like people walking and biking, with more protected bike lanes and streets designed to be safer for everyone.
Please support and prioritize safer streets!
