I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel.

But a rebel with a cause.....

With 20 miles of signed bike lanes and routes already in on St. Louis streets, Bike St. Louis is now looking to expand.  Phase 2 would include more neighborhoods, more roads and more amenities, including maps.  But to ensure funding, public support for the project is needed.

Please take a few minutes to send a letter to the address below and please feel free to add your own experiences are encouraged. 

Need some motivation, try here.

RE: Bike St. Louis Phase 2

Dear Enhancement Committee:

I am writing to enthusiastically support the continuation of the Bike St. Louis project. As a St. Louis resident and cyclist I am in strong support of this project. I feel the development of the Bike St. Louis routes encourage residents to use alternative modes of transportation because of its development of safe bike lanes and signage as well as the connections to Metro bus and Metrolink stations.

Not only does this project benefit bicyclists. I feel it helps raise awareness of the role of bikes as alternative mode of transportation, while also providing excellent safety information in the map developed for Phase I.

The benefits also extend to our economic centers that are spread throughout the City. The development of the route and its proposed extensions will continue to encourage residents and visitors to explore our city and to become more familiar with the variety of shops and businesses that exist throughout our City.

I firmly support the continuation of this project as I see it as an exemplary project for improving the quality of life for all the citizens of St. Louis.

Sincerely,

(Your name)
