Hi Council!
With this email I am expressing my strong support for tomorrow's council agenda item 7A, the South
Higuera Complete Streets Project. Please prioritize this project - South Higuera remains an incredibly
dangerous and intimidating place to ride a bike. I'll avoid that area of town, including the businesses
there that I'd like to frequent more often, because of how uncomfortable it feels to ride my bike on that
stretch.
It's amazing how much Chorro has been transformed between the 101 and Foothill! It's safe for walking
and biking, it's slower, it's less noisy, it looks more like a people-friendly, pleasant, beautiful place for
humans to exist happily and enjoy SLO. I would love for South Higuera to feel and look more like that
with a road diet, protected areas for bicyclists, better curb ramps, and safer intersections.
Important features include making the intersections at Madonna & Los Osos Valley Road safer,
physically separating vulnerable humans from cars with protected bike lanes, and important
accessibility upgrades such as improved curb ramps for pedestrians.
I would love to not be scared for my safety when riding through there and be able to visit places like
Trader Joe's, Coastal Peaks Coffee, etc more frequently!
Thank you,
Ken Kienow
