Redwood City did ask for $1.2 million in Measure A funds and did receive them. In a previous post, however, we established a few things already: <br />speed humps were removed from essential locations <br />speed humps were moved to the wrong locations <br />no speed humps east of Dingee Circle mean speeding is still happening there <br />speed humps incentivize trucks and large cars <br />There were hardly any improvements for pedestrians either. Nobody fixed the sidewalks, no raised intersections, no raised crosswalks, flashing beacons on only <br />some, downgrading others; some crosswalks completely disappeared. <br />While other communities prepare for flooding with rain gardens or green streets, Redwood City does not. <br />For $1.2 million in bicycle funding, we should expect that people on bicycles will get something out of it. <br />But that didn't happen either. There are only a few feet of green thermoplastic markings. There are a few feet of buffered bike lanes in unused areas. If there were <br />raised buffers during the pilot phase, they were taken down after. And it gets even worse after that, let's look at four different examples: <br />Example Number One – "MAY USE FULL LAN" <br />The upper section of <br />Hopkins has no upgrades, but it has this weird sign I just don't understand. Two theories have come to mind so far, but I'm open to more suggestions: <br />Option One: This is a passive-aggressive way of letting people on bicycles know they should bring a long cable because they won't get WiFi here. <br />7/21/24, 5:21 PM Blog: No WiFi on Hopkins? - Redwood City Pulse <br />https://www.rwcpulse.com/blogs/peeking-at-plans/2023/12/04/hopkins/2/5
