From: Martha Cullimore <br />To: PublicComment <br />Subject: Bridge Parkway/Safe Streets Program Proposal <br />Date: Friday, April 24, 2020 4:08:20 PM <br />I note in your agenda that you are considering the inclusion of the bridge on Bridge Parkway <br />in Redwood Shores as part of your Safe Streets closures. <br />As a resident of Redwood Shores, I request that you reconsider this Bridge Parkway location <br />for the following reasons: <br />1. This bridge is on a regular route of Sam Trans. <br />2. The lower slopes of the bridge roadway are not visible from one side to the other. <br />Therefore, anyone walking or bicycling on the roadway will not be visible from vehicular <br />traffic on their approach to the summit. This puts the pedestrians or bicycle riders in peril of <br />being hit. <br />3. Redwood Shores has miles of wide trails, wide sidewalks and wide levee pathways on <br />which the residents are safely walking and riding now, while successfully socially distancing. <br />There are also wide walkways on each side of the bridge. The community does not need an <br />additional half -mile of roadway on which to walk or ride. <br />4. The bridge is a transit route for hundreds of residents whose neighborhoods abut Bridge <br />Parkway. It's closure would add miles to their daily transit between Marine World Parkway <br />and their homes. <br />Please reconsider this Safe Streets closure. It would clearly and unnecessarily inhibit the safety <br />of Redwood Shores residents and visitors. <br />MARTHA CULLIMORE <br />Email: martha.cullimore@gmail.com <br />Ph: 650.576.4067 <br />
