I am very much in favor of this plan with the following comments and questions.
A favorite: Walker Street Plaza.
Multi use paths and bikeways are shown on the southwest side of Higuera that are not yet in place.
South to Elks and Elks to Prado. These will all be completed during this project?
I advocate for these improvements. Walkability is one of my primary concerns.
Future pedestrian beacon at Elks Lane should be one of the first. There us nowhere to cross that is
not dangerous and a long way to other crossings, none currently safer unless signalized. From
Margarita to South needs these pedestrian improvements.
Where there are pedestrian beacons there are crosswalks too, right? Hope so.
I am impressed that some areas will get wider sidewalks.
Will the areas currently without sidewalks get sidewalks? Hope so.
Like Greenways to school and to Broad.
Like the bikeways and ADA crossings too. Unsure if I see the vision of the path and routing of
southbound bikes at Madonna. That looks like bikes might use the green marked areas beginning at
the bus pullout, or they might mix in all of the southbound lanes? Explain this better, please.

Strongly favor Bridge to Margarita plan.
Consider a water station near the homeless center at DSS and at the government plaza (DMV area)
and at the strip shopping center where Coastal Peaks is.
Consider electric vehicle charging along the corridor. Work a plan with the County, State (government
plaza and the two Cal Trans sites for ev charging. Same for the strip mall where Coastal Peaks is.
Same for Bonetti Ranch, Trader Joe's and other sites.
Consider improving fiber while this project happens. Is Charter going to do anything to improve
bandwidth? Perhaps, do these improvements at the same time.
Get the two Prado jobs done asap so these three projects can synch and not disrupt neighborhood
for years.
Thank you for your consideration.
