Lane splitting thread for Kitsap

[Willow]

This last week I sent an e-mail to Loretta Byrnes (running for state reperesentative) asking her if she would support lane splitting in this state when the bill comes up again. If she did, I would vote and support her. I got a response right away that seemed very positive. We need more people in office to support this bill when it comes up again, and we need to get Judy Clibborn out of the transportation committee chair!

Here is her response to my e-mail:

Hi Brad

Thank you for contacting me. I thought that bill had gone through. Can you please send me the bill number so that I have the specifics. And believe it or not I do have experience with motorcycles which I drove in Bangladesh, Africa, and for my commute to Seattle. I am familiar with lane splitting but I am hesitant to open links from people who I have not met.

Thank you

Loretta

I did send her the bill number.

The video link I sent her was, "The Great Motorcycle Vanishing Act." Very well done video.

BTW, she left a pamphlet on my door, and on it she gives her 3 top priorities. Her third top priority is:

"Improve our tranportation systems and maintain infrastructure so that people can get to work."

Yea, I think lane splitting would help a number of people get to work.
