The Sausalito City Council's decision to cancel a bike lane grant resulted in the resignation of the entire Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee (PBAC). Chair Kieran Culligan expressed that the council's disregard for safety recommendations severely undermined the committee's mission to improve community safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The outgoing members cited an alarming lack of commitment from city leadership to address documented safety hazards, leading them to perceive their continued involvement as an endorsement of the status quo that endangers community members.
"I joined the Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee to work collaboratively and make our community safer... However, I can no longer continue to serve in good conscience..."
"When clear safety recommendations, backed by data and expert opinion, are dismissed, known hazards allowed to persist, and concrete commitments absent, the committee's purpose is fundamentally undermined."
