    My 8 year old son and I ride around Alameda safely on the sidewalks. I don't support removing traffic lanes for a cycle track. Our city is in much need of street paving, sidewalk repair, tree trimming, etc. Why would the city and the people who live here support spending money on a "nice to have"?

    This concept is even more ridiculous than #1. It is already hard enough to move cars through and around Alameda. Why on earth would I support removing 2 lanes of traffic? Building a bike lane and cycle track will not get people out of their cars and onto bikes. This is a pipe dream at best.

    Alameda bike riders should consider riding bikes on sidewalks like we did in the "old fashioned" days. By the way, I am only 41.

    I can not support any option that removes lanes from Central Ave. It is already a nightmare to drive across Alameda. I live on Santa Clara where there are bikes lanes and only 2 lanes of traffic and I can tell you that it does not "calm" traffic. As I sit and watch the cars go by right now, cars are easily going by at 30+ mph.
