A Good Letter for Bike Lanes

Good Morning Heather,
 
I just stubbled across your website and I wanted to send a quick note:
 
Thank you for you efforts to bring safety to such a crazy place.  My wife and I moved to Vegas (northwest ANN/95) about two years ago, and I have LOVED learing new routes and trails.  I ride a road bike (04′  Allez), as well as a Harley (93′ Spriger Softail) so road conditions and rider safety are my primary concern.  Plus, I drive out to Blue Diamond as often as possible (07′ Stumpjumper FSR).  Love that bike.  Thank GOD for good friends, and the former teacher sign on bonus.
 
I was shocked the first time I drove the Mt. Charleston highways; at it’s beauty, it’s powerful elavation changes, it’s dynamic vegitation and the fact that their were no shoulders.  I have pedaled, drove and rode the highways many times (including hiking and snow fun) since we moved here and I’m always nervous at some point. 
 
I realize shoulders up 158 would unreasonable, with cost and room, but there is no reason shoulders could not be added on most of 157 and 156.  I would like to help and support anything or anyone that can call attention to this issue.  I plan to subscribe to the updates and help where I can.
 
Thank you for your time and congratulations on your accomplishments.
 
Sincerely,

Shannon Fincher.
