One in particular is the circuit bicyclists take from <br /> Sycamore to Foothill and then around Foothill. One of the key provisions is for a wider bike <br /> lane on Foothill so there is a logical connection to improving bicycling along the corridor here <br /> that is realistic in the near term and money can do that. She asked that staff look at other <br /> options along those lines, and how much of a contribution was realistic based on splitting the <br /> difference of the profit a land owner would receive by having the additional two parcels. <br /> Excerpt Planning Commission Minutes, July 11, 2018 Page 9 of 11 <br />, 2018 Page 3 of 11 <br />Way, existing lots range from 15,033 sq. ft.
