🚨 URGENT ACTION ALERT 🚨 This week, Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) funding is on the chopping block. Tell your senators: the transportation bill extension MUST include continued funding for SS4A. Take action NOW: action.bikeleague.org/page/101121/...
Action Alert graphic. A man in an East Coast Greenway cycling jersey holds a sign that says "Bike Lanes Save Lives" next to a bike lane with cyclists riding by. Text overlay: "Urgent: Save Safe Streets and Roads for All Funding. Bikeleague.org/action-center. "Action Alert graphic. White text on a red background: "The Senate has a chance to protect funding for bike lanes and safer roads. They need to hear from you. This week, the Senate will be voting on a short-term extension of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Critically, this proposed extension strips out funding for a key program created in the IIJA: the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program. 

Safe Streets and Roads for All has made $5 billion over five years directly available to local communities who want to plan for and build safer roads for people walking, biking, taking transit, and driving. 

Tell your senators: the continuing resolution must include continued funding for SS4A. Without it, communities will not be able to access critical funding to build safer roads.
TAKE ACTION NOW ⬇️

From Jed's email - "Brandon was 9 years old when this project was proposed. He was 13 when it was supposed to be built. His whole future is gone because of Baltimore City's inaction." Inexcusable. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...
Washington Street was identified in the 2015 Bike Master Plan for a separated bike lane and prioritized in the 2017 Separated Bike Lane Network Plan for installation by 2019.

It took until 2025 to approach final design. In May 2025, community members were told the project could break ground that year.

The Mayor's Bicycle Advisory Commission was told this January the project would be under construction by January 2027. By this May's budget hearing, the project had slipped to a "goal" of Spring 2027 construction.

Brandon was 9 years old when this project was proposed. He was 13 when it was supposed to be built. His whole future is gone because of Baltimore City's inaction.
