New York State can do a lot in Monroe County in the next 5 years!

• Adopt a “complete streets” design policy for all state road projects if the service life of such resurfacing, maintenance or pavement recycling project is at least ten years. Implement dedicated bike facilities, sidewalks, enhanced pedestrian crossings, traffic calming or road diets (where appropriate) to create safer places for ALL users of the road.

• Build safe cycling infrastructure on Empire Boulevard (Penfield) and Monroe Avenue and West Henrietta Road (Brighton) during upcoming road projects!

• Build a safer, multimodal Lake Avenue as part of ROC Vision Zero!

• Create a fully connected network of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in Monroe County working with towns, villages, the City of Rochester, Monroe County and residents. Improve connectivity across municipal boundaries, between neighborhoods, jobs, and safe routes to schools.

• Allocate more funding to active transportation enhancements on all road projects.

• Advocate to the federal government to ensure that the surface transportation reauthorization includes bike infrastructure funding explicitly.
