John Olver's office today. We need infrastructure support out here for biking and walking. The roads can be quite difficult and dangerous to negotiate, the only bike lane I've seen is on Grove Street which is one of the steepest hills in town, and there are many areas of the city that only have partial side walks. So I will be working and watching to see that improvements are made. Increased funding, wherever it is applied, can only help to build more political momentum for changes in cities like mine.
