To the Editor,

I would like to express my thanks to the mayor, Princeton Council members, Princeton Bicycle Advisory Committee, and the volunteers who have all been instrumental in the installation of the temporary bike lanes on Wiggins Street.

I love to frequent the shops, restaurants, and nightlife that downtown Princeton has to offer, yet I also want to do my part toward mitigating climate change, so would like to reduce my car usage. As a mother of two small children I am somewhat risk-averse, however, and I have to confess am normally a little scared of cycling on Wiggins, due to the narrow lanes and busy traffic. The cycle lanes were a fantastic addition that gave me a little extra confidence to tackle the busy roads and helped me to reduce my carbon footprint. In addition, given the glorious weather we have been experiencing, it was a delight to have an extra excuse to get outside and enjoy life!
