GEC POSITION on Item 8c:
GEC urges City Council to support Glendale’s Bicycle Transportation Plan.
The Glendale Environmental Coalition wholeheartedly supports the draft 2024 Bicycle Master Plan Update. The plan creates a roadmap to guide Glendale toward a more environmentally-sound, infrastructure and is a vital component of both the City’s Climate Action & Adaptation Plan and Vision Zero plan, which aims to reduce collisions on Glendale’s notoriously dangerous streets. It addresses the urgent needs to both reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the single largest contributor of GHGs (transportation) and design safer streets for cyclists, pedestrians, and motorists. The plan plays a vital role in enabling the City to achieve both its sustainability and public safety goals. We ask for City Council’s full-throated support to begin implementation of this twenty-year plan. We ask that they think twenty years ahead to envision a City where young and old can make short trips to the store or work or school or public transit hubs without having to use a car and are able to do so SAFELY.
