Advocacy News | Cascade Bicycle Club

Together, our advocacy added bike investments totalling $114 million in the Mayor's Proposed Levy. We need to secure the $114 million and push for more.
The City Council now has 6 weeks to finalize the proposal before voting it onto the November Seattle ballot for voters to get their say. Sign up to join us at upcoming public hearing dates on the Seattle Transportation Levy to make sure Council knows biking investments matter and should not be cut.
Read below for a reminder of where Council members stood on biking when they were on the campaign trail last year. (hint: they all said they support biking)

Cascade Bicycle Club is urging the mayor to boost the Seattle Transportation Levy by $20 million to fund the South Seattle bike network.
Voice your support by April 26 for a Transportation Levy that connects Seattle by bike.

New Seattle Policy Manager Tyler Vasquez is a seven-time STP finisher with a background in active transportation policy.
His job is to advance Cascade’s top Seattle priorities, which include completing protected bike routes in SODO and District One–and building support for a bold Seattle Transportation Plan and Levy.
We took a spin with Vasquez to see some of his past infrastructure projects, and learn how growing up in Southeast San Diego influences his work to improve bicycling for all.

Paving over the Ballard railroad tracks and finishing the Duwamish Trail are among the 2023 wins that were small in mileage but big in impact.
The good news: 12 more miles of bike lanes are coming to Seattle in 2024.
Now we must push a bold Seattle Transportation Levy that paves the way for a more bikeable city in the decade to come.
