I am writing today to express my support for item 7A, the South Higuera Complete Streets Project as proposed by staff. I live north of
Foothill and I work at the south end of South Higuera and I have been looking forward to the day that I have a safe route to and from
work. The improvements that have been made already on Marsh and Higuera streets are already making my commute safer. The
improvements that have been completed in the Anholm neighborhood have not only helped to make the many people that use the bike
lanes safer, it has helped to slow down traffic on the street. I've been riding my bike around SLO long enough to remember when the
bike lanes were added to South Higuera between Marsh and South Street and a traffic lane was removed. I remember being skeptical
at the time how that was going to work and was pleasantly surprised to find it worked fine. I guess I am saying that I have learned to
believe the traffic engineers when they say it will work. I know that the route is used now by bicyclists like myself but I believe there
are many others that shy away from traveling on South Higuera by bicycle. (I feel the same way about Tank Farm Road but that is a
topic for different day).
