Resolution on E. State St. Bicycle Lane

East State Street Bicycle Lane

BPAC

Whereas:

East State Street connects downtown Ithaca with Collegetown and is an important link in street network for multiple modes, including private motor vehicles, public transit, bicycling, and walking; and

The City of Ithaca is considering installation of an uphill bicycle lane on East State Street beginning at East Green Street and ending at Mitchell Street; and

One of the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Council’s duties is “to advocate for implementation of city plans for bicycle travel”;

Now Therefore Be It Resolved:

That the City of Ithaca Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Council hereby strongly endorses the City’s plans to install an uphill bicycle lane on East State Street.
