| From the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters:

DATE: Wednesday May 12, 12:15 pm
PLACE: Connecticut State Capitol, East Side
Brief Program at 1 pm
Connecticut's SB 735 is a start toward making sure transportation isn't just about cars anymore.
Too often our road projects make walking and bicycling impractical or unsafe in many places. SB 735 would ensure that all road users--including transit users, bicyclists, and pedestrians--are considered in new transportation projects. With gas prices inching back up, cycling's popularity will only continue to rise.
The bill will also establish a statewide bicycle and pedestrian advisory committee to serve as a permanent advocate for pedestrians and bicyclists. |
