Dear Members of the ATC,
I am writing to urge you to consider a better bike/walking route on Madonna Rd over Highway 101. Continuing the
existing multiuse path would be a very appealing solution. I am a parent of an 8th grader at LAMS. We have been biking
to school over this route for more than a year now. Getting over the highway is quite intimidating. I believe this is why
so many kids from our neighborhood who have been biking to elementary school do not continue when they get to
middle school. This is a shame because it puts more cars on the road and leads to congestion and idling cars.
Extending the multiuse path would also give a better route to SLOHS for students living in the new Madonna Ranch
neighborhood and the Laguna Lakes area.
The overpass is an important link in connecting bikeways throughout the city.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Susan Burgmans
