The proposed Sixth Street Protected Bike Lanes are under attack. Take action now.
Due to opposition from some merchants, Sixth Street between I-35 and Congress might NOT get protected bike lanes, as the City’s own plans call for. It’s time to tell City Council: Bike lanes on Sixth will improve safety AND help local businesses.
