The reasons for doing it are important, too. Washington Bikes works to secure funding for bicycle infrastructure and policies that increase access and safety. To make that happen, it matters who Washington\u2019s elected leaders are.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d like to thank all of the candidates, endorsed or otherwise, for taking the time to participate in Washington Bikes\u2019 endorsement process.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Bikes endorsement speaks to thousands of engaged Washingtonians statewide who care about a range of issues. From wanting more connected trails, to safer neighborhood streets, to more opportunities for physical activity, Washingtonians are looking for leaders who will advance these priorities. We asked city-specific questions of candidates, like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Will you work to ensure that Bellevue\u2019s bicycle rapid implementation plan (BRIP) funding in the next biennium (2019-2020) is allocated at a higher level than the current amount?<\/li>\n<li>Do you support completing the East Lake Sammamish Trail (ELST) to King County regional trail standards?<\/li>\n<li>Do you support the implementation of a downtown Seattle Basic Bike Network by 2019?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No matter the answer to our survey, we are grateful for our local candidates and electeds who help shape Washington\u2019s thriving communities.<\/p>\n<p>Washington Bikes\u2019 endorsement comes with engagement efforts through communications and\/or boots on the ground. Additionally, we are making financial investments through the Washington Bike PAC directly into target campaigns.
