The development of a comprehensive bike plan and process is a watershed event for Cupertino.
Key in this process are
significant budget $$'s being allocated for a meaningful and aggressive plan to "catch up" and make Cupertino safe for all citizens to bike to their destinations - whether school, relaxation, shopping or work.
Walk-Bike Cupertino urges the City to set aside $10M of its surplus for the implementation of the Alta plan and to make the long term structural changes to the city that will make it safe and easy to cycle in Cupertino.
We urge you to write your council and Senior city staff urging aggressive funding. Here is a sample letter and addresses that you might use:

If you have an opinion on this agenda item, you can attend the meeting to voice your opinion, or write your city council.
Walk-Bike Cupertino advocates
safe and easy cycling and walking in the city. This implies better signed routes through neighborhoods that are shorter and quieter for our kids to get to/from school and for our adult population who wants to access shopping districts or for exercise.
At Walk-Bike Cupertino's request, the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department has found
no history of problems or crime related to three city areas that are bike/ped friendly: Creekside Park off Miller Avenue, Orion Way and it's access path to the UP rail line and Scenic Circle near Blackberry farms.
