Dear Committee Members,
Thank you and staff for your hard work on this plan. I am really excited to see protected bike lanes as
a main priority of this plan. I support this list of Tier 1 projects to encourage more ridership which will
be crucial to meeting our climate action, mode shift, vision zero, equity, diversity, and inclusivity
goals. In order to create this positive and healthy transition away from single occupant vehicle use,
we must ensure that people can access their homes, jobs, schools, social engagements, and other
daily necessities safely and comfortably by bike or walking. I encourage you to support the plan's
implementation approach.
I noticed one area that could use more attention- the intersection at Broad and Ramona. I didn’t see
a pedestrian crossing improvement here. This is a very dangerous crossing because of the irregular
shape. There are many pedestrian here. I see the improvement farther down Ramona. I’m also in
favor of traffic calming on Meinecke between Chorro and Broad. This block is used as a cut through
for cars and speeds make it unsafe for pedestrians.
Thank you,
Kelle Brooks
