Sent a letter to Mayor Ravenstahl
Instead of installing lanes and sharrows to get to the promised “additional 25 miles of on-street paving markings and 5 miles of shared lane markings” I feel like we are taking them away. Liberty Ave through the Bloomfield business district has been paved for months and yet the sharrows have yet to make a come back. In Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s recent campaign for office, he promised to install 100 miles of protected bikeways in the city and within his first month in office he was already installing the city’s first protected cycle track. You’re one of the youngest mayors in the country and have a city council who seems ready to support more cycling, yet you do what it takes to only maintain the status quo. If you want Pittsburgh to remain most livable city and continue to attract and retain young people and professionals, you’re going to have to continue working at it.
