Our daughter and family live on West Street which butts into Chorro. We spend a lot of time visiting with her
family. We live across town. We also cycle a lot.
There is nothing you can do to make the section of Chorro better for bicycles. You can spend a lot of money trying. Your
plan calls for crossing Chorro twice in one direction. Chorro is narrow. Your plan will push parked cars onto the adjacent
streets.
An alternative, which is very inexpensive, would be to put up signs (bike route) and perhaps use some paint to direct
bikes onto Lincoln (and West for going south). Perhaps a stop sign at West on Chorro. There is one already there at the
other end of Lincoln.
Lincoln and West are quiet streets, and nothing more would need to be done other than perhaps a few more signs
indicating this is the intended bike route.
This would also eliminate two stop signs for cyclists, which most would favor.
Letters from people with no vested interest in the area should be discarded. We have family there. We do cycle
there to visit our family.
You can experiment with bike route signs, which won't cost millions of dollars, and re-evaluate if it seems that West -
Lincoln as a bike route is not working.
