Nearly 200 cities acr=ss the nation have also accepted the Challenge. As part of the activities we will: • Take a Complete Streets approach t=at considers walking and bicy=ling as equals with other transportation modes. • Identify and address barriers to make streets safe and =onvenient for all road users, including people of all ages and abil=ties and those using assistive mobility devices. Pedestrian a=d bicycle facilities should meet accessibility requirements and provide sa=e, convenient, and interconnected transportation networks for people of al= ages and abilities, especially children, by identifying and addressing ba=riers. Use designs that are a=propriate to the context of the street and its uses. • Improve walking and biking safety laws and regulations that s=/span>trengthen codes, ordinances, and practices to help p=otect non-motorized users. Ideal local ordinances that clarify and promote=safe road uses, allow for shared or designated and proper road use by all.=Clearly outline consequences for harmful traffic violations, promotin= cooperation and commitment to follow the rules. • Educate and enforce proper road us= behavior by all to help reduce pedestrian and bicyclist inju=ies and fatalities. =nbsp;Learn more about the May=rs' Challenge at: www.d=t.gov/mayors-challenge EFTA_R1_02073251 EFTA02702027 Sincerely, Philip Levine Mayor of Miami Beach <http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/110111678=221/S.gif> <http://img.con=tantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> <http://img.con=tantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> <http://img.con=tantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> <http://img.con=tantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> <https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101=16784221/JMML_SG1JMML05.png> <http://r2O.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=O=1CeVKsfv7UxIFiJu-NzydsfGAM2piBsUIQ6p1haXH5n5eDgpBXgjbzRFzF78- HDeAFSuZzThot=P9qOIKNI555AEAHJCuvLjYW_a7kIVShecO3zJVouPEDh7WvLHWXE83Z7yQKLUUNnA- d5n8MEr6=JjO9n1MbO- G15ShtfRuW7MjvKX7s85vOanE3oC3HT8DxcS8FehM9Xw=&c=HD8m6Bv5oUrt=AMUhdT8EJggqHS7T6K4HKFJZuMlDyo35 yOVIusxhA==&ch=e--Ecd2-XF3y.11aCVr-9r=tjdpPCAfqUd4NLUBkySdMIHHtmlatxRA==> <http://r20.rs=.net/tn.jsp?f=001CeVKsfv7UxIFilu- NzydsfGAM2piBsUlQ6plhaXH5n5eDgpBXgjbzbW=5_508bo4SOUYW9EEMIxkx9300zdA9Gld- TCLeopK7DrallidlpGQaU82FR- PaczKoaR5p8KnLo=pyxV44a1Vm492_1rfOnAclfIShbm4yFanuelulS40tIMxPbU6ng==&c=HD8m6Bv5oUrt=AMUhdT8EJgg qh1S7T6K4HKRIZuMlOyo35y0VlusxhA==&ch=e--Ecd2-XF3y.11aCVr-9r=tjdpPCAfqUd4NLUBkySdMIHHtmlatxRA==> Office of the Miami Beach Mayor <http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221=S.gif> <http://img.con=tantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> <http://img.constantcontact.com/lettergimages/1101116784221/S.gif> <http://img.con-tantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> <https://imgssl.constantcontact.=om/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> provider=/a>. <http://ui.constantcontact.c=m/roving/CCPrivacyPolicy.jsp> <http://ww=.constantcontact.com/index.jsp?cc=PT_MINSQ> SafeUnsubscribe'm I About our service =div style="font-family:verdana,arial; font-size:8pt; color:#000000;" id=3D"LETTER.PHYSICALADDRESS"> Office of Miami Beach Mayor 2 EFTA_R1_02073252 EFTA02702028
