Dear Mr. Johnson and AHS Building Committee,

My name is [your name] and I'm a [resident/parent/student] in Andover. I'm writing to urge the building committee to prioritize safe pedestrian and bicycle access at AHS. Providing safe and accessible pedestrian and bicycle accommodations will give people who choose to do so the ability to use alternative transportation to get to the high school. This provides equity in access, reduces car traffic, gives independence to students who cannot or do not drive, and brings the town closer to its climate and sustainability goals.

[Any additional information you'd like to include-- do you currently walk/bike? Would you choose to ever walk/bike if there were safer infrastructure in place?]

Thank you for your consideration.

[Your name]

[Optionally, your address]
