Presented By:Christopher SaltzburgCSaltzburg@gmail.com

Christopher Saltzburg - Lived in Jupiter for 10 years

Currently Live in MartiniqueJulie & I have two sons:

Blake & Ryan

We have enjoyed biking to school, Jupiter & Abacoa are very bike friendly, but there are some challenges…..So I took action

“Pop-up” Bike Lanes - A Nationwide Tend….

In response to those challenges - Co-Founded Jupiter Walk and Bike with Beth White:

-7+ Jupiter Crosswalks Have been Improved

-15 + Are in Process (Including the Crosswalk in Front of Lighthouse Elementary School)

-Meeting with Palm Beach County Re: Central Blvd & A1A

Obvious Benefit - ExerciseUnexpected Benefits: -Share About School

-More Connected at Drop-Off-Avoid Car Line!

Florida sky is gorgeous

Biking with kids to and from school is priceless….

I’m seeing more Lighthouse cyclists than ever...

Some Pics just as I was walking in for today’s meeting!

Campus Entrance not Designed for Cyclists….

Pedestrians and Cyclists crowded into one small path leads to congestion and complaints….

Campus Driveway has limited visibility….

Understandable reaction….

● Biking is Slower than driving, so those extra minutes are precious:

-Being On Time-Taking Older Siblings to Beacon

● Kids Struggle walking bikes for long distance● Enforcement will be Unpleasant for Everyone

● Visibility of Cyclists will be a motivator for car line drivers

So Just Walk Bikes - What’s the Problem?

Proposal: Dedicated Two-Way Bike Lane (s)

Proposed Solution East & West Entrances: The

“Lighthouse Bikeway”Newly Constructed West Entrance

“The Lighthouse Bikeway”

Enhanced East Entrance:

Benefits:➔ Visibility Encourages More Cyclists

➔ Reduces Car Line Volume➔ Helps Kids Focus in the Morning

➔ Great Publicity
