Having read Richard Schmidt’s latest email to the City Council, I totally agree with him on the deleterious effects this
project will have on the livability and safety of our neighborhood. The double like lanes on one side of the street is
proposed along Ramona and Chorro Street will have cyclists moving in the outside bike lane just the width of a white
painted line away from oncoming traffic. With the number of curb cuts and driveways on that stretch of Chorro Street
between Mission and Lincoln streets will truly be in an accident waiting to happen.
In addition, when the Council originally considered the Anholm Bikeway, SB 9 and SB 10 and their effects on single-
family neighborhoods could never have been imagined, let alone considered. With urban lot splits allowing 4 to 6 units
where one home now stands-- and with the state's prohibitions to require any off-street parking to serve this density of
development within 1/2 mile of a transit stop (like those on Ramona and Foothill) -- the elimination of over 70 on-street
parking spaces on our residential streets for the Anholm Bikeway will be disastrous for our neighborhood. SB 9 and SB
10 are game changers in the planning of a livable city and the City Council should pause and reconsider this project in
light of these new laws.
Sincerely,
T. Keith Gurnee, 108 Broad St., San Luis Obispo
