Hello City Council,
I am writing in support of the Grand Street Re-Striping and reduction of the street to one lane in each direction
with a generous bike lane. As a Cal Poly Student who lives car free in the South Downtown Neighborhood, I
commute to campus on Grand Ave. and the California Street Bikeway daily. It was such a surprise to come
back from Winter Break and see that both of these routes have been improved. Riding on the improved grand
street bike lanes, I feel much safer from cars traveling at high speeds entering and exiting the freeway.
My one critique of these projects is that Cal Poly has not done enough work to integrate bicycle transportation
into their roadway designs. I hope that the city continues to work with Cal Poly to ensure that city roads
integrate well into Cal Poly roads.
Thank you,
Joshua Ericson
