BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

• Walkable and bikeable communities that encourage interaction among citizens of all ages, incomes, and abilities;

• The freedom of choice in transportation, including the choice to safely walk, bike or use public transit;

• The strength, stability, and quality of our environment;

• Active recreation;

• Responsible use of energy resources; and

• Open communication among citizens and between government and the public

IPC seeks to work with local governments, officials, and staff to help create a culture of planning that works to complete Lee County's streets so that all users of our transportation networks are considered on the front end of any project or improvement. This effort includes attending and testifying at public meetings to raise awareness of complete streets, analyzing data and legislation to make the case for necessary enhancements and dangerous infrastructure gaps and helping to identify options and opportunities that would enhance Lee County's evolution into a model complete streets community. We welcome new members to assist in all aspects of making the community safer.
