Hi _______,
My name is _____ and I am a resident of the ____ area. I wanted to reach out and share my support for complete streets in our community.
With the reduction of federal funding for bike infrastructure, we need our local officials to support bike/ped access now more than ever.
I want to draw your attention specifically to the area of ______________________. The bike lane there ends at ________, and I know it means a lot to the residents of ________ to feel safe when trying to bike in Frankfort.
If you are able, I’d like to know next steps for the City of Frankfort/Franklin County and how I can help support this initiative as an engaged citizen.
Thank you,
______________
