Greenwich, CT is a vibrant community that places great emphasis on environmental sustainability and healthy lifestyles. However, the availability of bike lanes in our town does not currently meet the needs of residents who wish to use eco-friendly modes of transportation. Increasing the number of bike lanes in Greenwich will make cycling a safer and more attractive option for daily commutes, exercising, and leisure activities.

Currently, Greenwich has limited bike lanes, forcing cyclists to share busy roads with vehicles. This not only poses a risk for cyclists but can also create traffic congestion and increased pollution. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the integration of more dedicated bike lanes reduces accidents by up to 50% and encourages more people to choose cycling over driving, leading to a decrease in carbon emissions.

By expanding bike lanes, Greenwich can promote public safety, foster a healthier community, and contribute to environmental preservation. It is imperative that the city council allocates resources toward developing a comprehensive network of bike lanes that connect neighborhoods, schools, and local attractions.

Join us in urging the Greenwich city council to prioritize the expansion of bike lanes. Sign this petition to support a greener, safer, and healthier future for our beloved town.
