To whom it may concern:
I am reaching out today to express my support for the improvement of the Madonna Road bikeway
and the Higuera/Madonna intersection. Specifically, I am enthusiastic about extending the raised
multi-use trail on the downtown side of Madonna Road, as it would greatly enhance safety and
connectivity for cyclists in our community.
The proposed extension would effectively close the gap in a safe route for students commuting
between Laguna Middle School and Hawthorne and Sinsheimer Elementary Schools. Ensuring the
safety of our students and encouraging active transportation is paramount, and this improvement
aligns with those goals.
Furthermore, I urge consideration of the intersection of Higuera/Madonna in conjunction with
bikeway design on Madonna Road.
I have small children who attend Hawthorne who I hope will one day be able to utilize these safe
routes. As things currently stand, I would not be comfortable letting them independently ride their
bikes to Laguna.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I trust that you will make decisions in the best
interest of our community's safety and well-being.
Melanie Marshall
