Take Action
The proposed ATP (Active Transportation Plan) will add a 10 block long enclosed bike lane/cycle track on the south side of Solano from Tulare to Masonic. This ATP proposal will impact how we live, work, dine, play and get around in Albany. If you shop, utilize salon services, or dine in Albany this will impact you. If you are a Solano business owner, this will impact you.
If you think that the bike lane/cycle track is not a good idea, email the City Council and the Mayor with your concerns and/or questions. Sending an email shares your opinion and will make a difference. If you can take a few minutes to email the City Council and Mayor Peggy McQuaid, please do so. Please email Council and the Mayor now.
