Safe Streets CAMPAIGN agenda

What We Want 

IT'S TIME WE MADE OURSELVES HEARD

• Allow Class 1 and 2 e-bikes on greenways and allow BCycle, Spin, Bird and Lime to rent e-bikes.

• Complete the downtown core bike lanes now

• Fund bike infrastructure at a level that will make a real difference and upgrade the rest of our                " bikeway network".

• Fix Demonbreun Street immediately before a serious injury or death occurs

• Change the KVB bridge bike lane so riders are safe and feel safe.

• Create separated bike lanes and stop painting white lines that are too narrow and include the gutter. When a car can park in a bike lane it's not worth the paint.

• Hire a fulltime Bike/Ped Coordinator in the Mayor’s Office to represent our goals and bring someone from a real bike friendly city like Minneapolis or Portland.

• Revitalize the Mayor’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee so it is more representative, listens to the community and even gives the Mayor some advice.

• Make greenways part of the transportation system and keep them open 24/7. No more closures for concerts or baseball games.  When a greenway is closed for repairs act like it’s important instead of just another item on the to do list.

• Make it clear that e-bikes are allowed on all greenways to encourage cycling with groups that would never consider bicycling.

• Pass a Complete Streets Ordinance

• Pass a Vision Zero Ordinance to Require Action on Road Safety

• Monitor the progress of the Shared Urban Mobility Device program and advocate for SUMD micro-mobility

• Support the Bcycle program and support the change to e-bikes

 That’s just a start. Got some ideas? Send them to us and we’ll add them to the list.

Safe Streets PAC is a registered with the Davidson County Election Commssion and is in compliance with all applicable state laws.
