Inside these 15 downloadable .docx files you will find copy-and-paste comment letters that can help you advocate for protected bike lanes, road diets, traffic calming, bus lanes, missing-middle upzoning, and sidewalk infill projects. Each letter is 180–350 words (the length councils actually read), and includes peer-reviewed data to help support your case. Just change three things:

  • the city / corridor name

  • one local crash or ridership statistic

  • your name at the bottom
