Hey Sam!

Thanks for taking the long view, trying to make our city a more open, livable and less ignorant place.

Some of us taxpaying voters realize that encouraging bicycling actually reduces the need for street maintenance in the first place.

Some of us taxpaying voters realize that the street-maintenance impact of a bicycle over its entire life is miniscule compared to the impact of a car in just a few months.

Some of us taxpaying voters realize that a balanced transportation system that allows for free enterprise and personal freedom helps create a healthy, vibrant community.

Some of us taxpaying voters make it a point to patronize locally-owned businesses, especially those that take an active role in making our city a more friendly and inclusive place.

And some of us taxpaying voters appreciate that despite the taxes levied on private automobiles, they are still an expensive and highly subsidized transportation choice.
