I am sure Caltrans will point out the bridge was at <br /> a standstill prior to 2019 and the bike lane didn't create the slow traffic. I do think a bit of a reach to compare the <br /> Caltrans conversion of 4 miles of freeway to connect two to our conversion of a few blocks of over designed arterials to <br /> provide improved safety and access to students going a to school and families to the local grocery store. <br /> As for the Burlingame video—I am very familiar with the initial fears of change from businesses and the public.This <br /> happens despite numerous studies showing that bike lanes stimulate local business, not hurt it. New York did the most <br /> comprehensive study, but there are many others that show the benefit. This article from Wired Magazine provides <br /> some good data points. https://www.wired.com/story/the-battle-over-bike-lanes-needs-a-mindset-shift/. I am confident <br /> that the Burlingame businesses will be fine. <br /> Mike Tassano (he/him) <br /> Deputy Director of Community Development, Transportation <br /> D: 925-931-5670 <br /> F: 925-931-5478 <br /> mtassano(a_cityofpleasantonca.gov <br /> City of Pleasanton I P.O.
