Excellent idea and one that enhances the esthetics of the neighborhood as well as providing a safer bike way.
The curbs ad pilones proposed are not only unsafe but an eyesore, Chorro is one of our city most pleasant street
because the it is tree lined, no need for unsightly clutter.

Dear Mayor and Council Members,
Some bikeists claim falsely that opponents of the dreadful "preferred alternative" offer no alternatives.
You know that's untrue.
Last time you looked at the Broad/Chorro bike fiasco, I submitted what I called a 1-2-3 plan, the essence
of simplicity, which would have been a win-win for cyclists and residents. You chose to ignore it.
So I'm submitting a modified expansion of the 1-2-3 plan which I call the 1-2-3-4 plan. It even has a pretty
picture in it this time, so please take a serious look.
This is the sort of plan you should be adopting, not the dreadful, unsafe, disruptive thing the organized
bike lobby has pushed onto your desk. In the interests of civic peace, fairness, and progressivism, please
make something like this course the way ahead. Make this a win-win, not a lose-lose.
Thank you.
