My name is Emma Shlaes and I'm <br />the Deputy Director of Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition. <br />We really appreciate Redwood City considering this Slow Streets Program and thank staff for <br />this thoughtful proposal. <br />In this crazy time, getting outside is a boost to physical and mental health. There are also <br />fewer cars on the road. <br />In this context, SVBC supports closing some streets to through traffic to allow more space for <br />people to walk and bike while remaining 6 feet apart. <br />This will also facilitate walking and biking for essential trips to the grocery store as well as to <br />essential jobs. <br />SVBC is ready to support Redwood City in this program in whatever way is most helpful. <br />',S P,'Thank you for your consideration. <br />Emma Shlaes <br />Deputy Director <br />Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition <br />96 N. Third Street, Suite 375 <br />San Jose, CA 95112 <br />Work Cell: 650-703-1191 <br />htta://bikesiliconvallev.ora <br />Become a member! <br />
