In 2008 the Elon town Council created a 20-year “Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Lighting Plan” that includes plans for bike lanes, bike paths, sidewalks, and lighting. Over two years later, there have been no visible steps taken to create safer pedestrian and cyclist conditions in the town of Elon. In the past two years there have been several cyclists hit by cars that have resulted in serious injuries and even death. These accidents could have been avoided if Elon’s infrastructure had included safer bike conditions.
For the safety of cyclists and pedestrians, the decrease in traffic congestion, improved air quality, and for a healthier environment, sign this petition to support the acceleration of the town of Elon’s “Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Lighting Plan.”
I spent the morning reviewing the town planning documents again and it is clear that our safety is not their priority. Please text three friends this link and tell them why we need these bike lanes finished now. We will keep putting pressure on the town council until they provide a real timeline.

The momentum behind this plan proves that our neighbors refuse to accept these preventable accidents any longer. Text three friends right now and demand they sign to keep this pressure on the town council.

My son rides his bike to class everyday and I worry sick about him because of how people drive around here. Please get these lanes painted.
