    Separated bike path, cycle track, is the safest for the whole community. We would be very wise to invest in this now, as we're developing the base, so our city becomes safer and more liveable.

    Cycle tracks keep our kids safe and add clarity for drivers, which increases safety also.

  • For Corridor Segment #3, which option do you prefer?
    • Two-way cycle track (south side of street)

    Having 2-way cycle track on the same side of the road as schools is a very wise idea - it will keep kids from making dangerous crossings and make it safer for drivers also. Would be even better if this extended to Paden also.

    Cycle track perferred for safest option and to provide clarity for bikers & drivers about where bike riders are supposed to be on the road. This option is dangerous; these are highly traffic streets where drivers tend to speed, and this option offers the least protection for both rider and driver. If children, commuters and other bikers are riding this stretch and the bike lane suddenly disappears in favor of a sharrow, there will be confusion. Mistakes will be made on both parts with very serious risks of deadly accidents. We need a cycle track to make it very clear for all parties. We just had a pedestrian death in Alameda. If safety is really our top priority, slowing down traffic and adding clarity with cycle tracks is what we should do.
