I hope you're not designing bike facilities for people hospialized, parapalegic, etc.

10. Please describe the reason for your selection of preferred crossing locations. Most of the school and office commuters cross alma and get to the other side either at E Meadow or at Charleston. The above ordering is based on closeness to these roads
12. Do you have additional comments, suggestions, or concerns regarding the South Palo Alto Bike/Ped Connectivity project? A lot of office commuters take Arstradero, Charleston to get to 101. This route is completely through residential neighborhoods. Guiding this traffic out of residential areas, by making access to San Antonia easier (via el camino real) or guiding the traffic through foot hill expressway will ease the need for a grade separation as the overall traffic on Charleston and E Meadow would go down. City could also explore options like making Arastradero/Charleston tolled to force the traffic through main streets like foothill expressway, el camino real and Alma.

IT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED.

10. Please describe the reason for your selection of preferred crossing locations. The places that should be prioritized for bicycle and pedestrian crossings should be the places where students use them the most. It's much safer for younger students and takes away (or reduces) a suicide option for older students.
12. Do you have additional comments, suggestions, or concerns regarding the South Palo Alto Bike/Ped Connectivity project? One area that is really awkward is right around the entrance to Mitchell Park Library. To leave the library on a bike heading back towards Magical Bridge and GreenMeadow Neighborhood is awkward. You can bike on the sidewalk but there’s not enough space with pedestrians or you can go in the parking lot. If you go with the correct flow of traffic you have to loop around towards that sandbag station or you can get tempted to just go the wrong way in the parking lot b/c that curve near the teen center and the tennis courts is super wide. Maybe that whole corner there adjacent to the teen center and tennis courts could get redone to allow for two way bike traffic and pedestrians.

Start construction in 6 months, and be done in 18 months....and show our government can actually function.
