It was good to hear how many people had started biking as <br />a result of the changes. I especially appreciated the bravery of the kids getting up there in front <br />of the mic and saying what they needed to say. As density increases, cars are becoming less <br />and less practical. E-bikes are an excellent alternative. Drivers are often unaware that getting <br />folks out of their cars and onto bikes actually reduces traffic for them. <br />I live on Fernside, and I really don't think there has been an increase in traffic as a result of the <br />pilot project. The addition of speed humps on Fernside has had a far more dramatic effect, <br />reducing both speeding and car traffic, without reducing the substantial bike traffic. I think <br />there were some excellent suggestions to take into account when implementing the permanent <br />changes, such as soft-hit posts to separate the bike lane from the car lane would help prevent <br />angry drivers from using the bike lane as a passing lane, and green-striping the bike lane near <br />intersections. Thank you and the advisory committee for all the hard work making this <br />happen! <br />- <br />Peter Epstein <br />On Mon, Oct 17, 2016 at 7:36 PM CD-Jessica Manzi <jmanzi@redwoodcity.org> wrote: <br />Quick update: <br />8.A. - Page 80
