You may have seen people wearing these bright green #Budget4Bikes stickers on the route last Sunday. They're supporting $2.5 million in funding for bike infrastructure and maintenance in the City’s FY2019 Budget. The funding will help the City set realistic goals for a bike network expansion that can be delivered in a single political term. At approximately $100,000 per mile, the City could build 20 miles of bike lanes annually. Along with projects funded by other sources, this would help meet our goal of 200 miles of bikeways by 2021 -- while also setting aside $500,000 annually for maintenance.
Support #Budget4Bikes: Email your council member before tomorrow's council meeting to let them know that funding bike infrastructure is critical to Atlanta's bike-friendly future!
