The California Bicycle Coalition seeks support for AB 891, a bill demanding Caltrans establish quick-build bike lane and intersection projects to improve road safety for cyclists and pedestrians. Quick-build projects enable rapid infrastructure changes using accessible materials, allowing for immediate upgrades while further developments are planned. The bill's success hinges on approval from the Assembly Appropriations Committee by May 23, emphasizing the urgency of addressing dangerous routes to safeguard vulnerable road users against long planning delays for traditional projects.
The Quick-Build Bill, AB 891, will not move forward if it isn't voted out of the Assembly Appropriations Committee by May 23. We desperately need this bill, which will allow Caltrans to more consistently use quick-build methods to swiftly fix dangerous spots on state routes and protect vulnerable road users.
A 'quick build project' is a temporary, easily adjustable infrastructure improvement that can be installed using readily available materials to either solicit feedback from a community or put a smaller improvement in place while a larger one is planned.
