    I strongly support this resolution and hope the city accepts the grant to make the listed improvements. Though I don't live in West Hollywood, I frequently bike to my favorite restaurants there, but I often feel unsafe. Improving the cycling experience on Fountain Ave will make it safer and encourage me to visit and spend more in WeHo.

    While I don't live in WeHo, I am a frequent vistor. A bike lane and out reach to the eastern portion of WeHo will be greatly appreciated. Ciclavia, has shown the community how important and needed bicycle lanes are needed in weho. Therefore, I please ask the city to accept the grant.
