Subject:San Luis Ranch
As a resident of Pismo Beach who rides into SLO for meetings and shopping and as a former Safe Routes Coordinator, I
have concerns about the San Luis Ranch development. Before the development gets approval to start construction, I am
asking for the following conditions to be implemented:
-An emergency/temporary solution to the Madonna bike path access points at the Madonna Inn and Marsh Street. Without
a Prado Road overcrossing, the lack of bicycle access is an emergency, especially for Laguna Middle School students.
Providing safe routes to school should be a high priority for the City.
-Buffered and green bike lanes on Madonna Road between Highway 101 and Higuera Street.
-An agreement with the Pacific Coast Center at the intersection of Madonna Road and Higuera Street for a bicycle route
through the center to South Street and to Bridge Street to avoid the Madonna/Higuera/South Street intersection.
-Building a Prado Road overcrossing of Highway 101 for bicyclists and pedestrians only.
-Improvements to Los Osos Valley Road between the Highway 101 interchange and Higuera Street, including green bike
lanes and a bike box.
-Funding for the Bob Jones Trail segment from Oceanaire Drive to Calle Joaquin above the San Luis Ranch fair share
contribution so people on bikes can get closer to the Los Osos Valley Road/Higuera Street intersection without having to
ride that segment of Los Osos Valley Road. Without the Prado Road overcrossing, construction of this segment needs to
happen now.
I know the city is in a bind with this and other developments, but the safety of pedestrians and cyclists (students) should
not be compromised.
Thank you,
