Walkable & Bikable Neighborhoods: What makes for a great place to live? Is it a community engaged in its own decisions? Is it access to restaurants and convenience retail? Is it proximity to transit, and the ease of walking and biking, whether for trips to the store or to the park? Surely it is all of the above and plenty more. I believe we must reform our Department of Transportation's mission to focus more on making great places to live. A simple step is to prioritize walkability and put our resources behind it. A community that is walkable is a community with a high quality of life. The Federal government is moving to treat walking and biking as "equal" to driving in its prioritization. How many people would ride bikes if it were more safe and convenient? We should find out. Not only do we need connected, safe, separated bike lanes and trails county wide, but we should see just what we can accomplish in a city like Rockville, Bethesda or Silver Spring if we made biking a real priority. Let's build a test case for a new vision.
Dear Friend,
I wanted to invite you to join me tomorrow, [today if you are reading this via email] Sunday, June 6, at 2:00p.m. at Dancing in the Streets in Pikesville. Reisterstown Road will be closed between Sudbrook Road and Slade Avenue from 2:00-7:00p.m. for concerts, food, and fun. Meet in front of Jilly's Bar and Grill at 1012 Reisterstown Road to pick up a District 11 Team T-shirt. I'm looking forward to an exciting campaign season alongside my friends, Senator Bobby Zirkin and Delegates Dan Morhaim and Dana Stein.
Be sure to check out my Facebook page and invite your friends to become fans! If you have any questions, please visit my website at www.JonCardin.com.
Hope to see you on Sunday,
Jon S. Cardin
