8/4/08 - Contact your State Senator today about AB 1358
CBC needs your help in urging the California Senate to approve the Complete Streets Act. After nearly a year of procedural delays, Assembly Bill 1358, the Complete Streets Act, is scheduled to be heard by the full Senate as soon as this week.

Sponsored by CBC and AARP, this bill would require cities and counties to design roadways that safely accommodate all those who use them, including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, children, the elderly and the handicapped, as well as motorists.
