Post co-written by John Mauro, Director of  Policy, Planning & Govt Affairs and Kevin Carrabine, Board of Directors and Legislative Committee Chair.

You open your mailbox and there it is: an opportunity to make our roads and trails safer, more connected and better for bikes.  Your ballot has arrived.

But… uh… “I’ve been busy with work deadlines, that new addition, taking that new bicycle maintenance class….”  Fear not. Your ballot assistance has arrived.

Cascade has researched and interviewed candidates and campaigns throughout our region, matching them up to our vision and values—our vision of a community where bicycling is safe, normal, and embraced by everybody.  And our values of public health and safety, connected and vibrant communities and livable and bikeable neighborhoods for all.
