Dear Cupertino City Council members,
As an avid bike rider and also the wrestling coach at Lawson Middle School, I strongly advocate for a safe bike lane
for students biking to and from school. During the days that I coached at LMS, I would arrive before the end of the
school day and witness the confusion in front of the school. As I walked through the bike parking lot, I witnessed
scores of students trying to navigate their way out of the school grounds onto the sidewalks and streets. It is hectic
and has always concerned me. I believe we should encourage our middle school students to choose bicycle riding as
a viable source of transportation; however, we must make it safe. I am asking for your support on this very
important issue.
Best,
Jay Lawson
