Speak Up for Bike and Pedestrian infrastructure needs!

Join us at the April 4th City Council meeting at 3 pm for public comment on bike/ped infrastructure needs leading into the April 7th Capital Budget Retreat. Public members will have up to 3min to speak. We invite you to encourage Council to fund 3 capital projects and additional transportation positions in the City to support Martin Ince (City Multi-Modal Planner). Communities such as Boulder, CO, have 10+ staff members, and the City of Flagstaff has a team of 1... It's time we start fixing this.

The three projects we hope to see funded are:

- Protected intersection at Butler & Beaver

- Protected intersection at Butler & San Francisco  

- Elevating the Butler Bike Pilot Lanes to the height of the sidewalk creating 10' FUTS corridors on both sides of the street (better for cyclists, drivers, and maintenance)

Protected intersections are designed to place pedestrians' and cyclists' comfort and safety needs first. The Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP) identifies these two intersections as being hot spots for crashes with bike/ped. The implementation of Protected Intersections will likely reduce the number of crashes tremendously.

Understanding that most won't be able to attend the full-day Capital Retreat on Friday, this is an excellent opportunity to speak up. You can email the council (Council@flagstaffaz.gov) and/or join us at the Council Meeting (in person or virtually) on the 4th.

*To show your support, let us know you plan on attending by filling out the form on the right! *
