Learn why this is important <br />Ms. Owrang and City Council Members, <br />My wife and I have lived in Redwood City for 39 years, in the same house just off of Jefferson <br />Avenue. We travel on Jefferson Avenue everyday. Reducing the number of traffic lanes will <br />cause more problems than it will fix. Parking in our neighborhood is already difficult. If <br />parking on Jefferson is eliminated our street will be impacted even more by displaced forner <br />Jefferson Avenue parkers. As a bike rider I like the idea of more bike lanes. But reducing <br />Jefferson to one lane in each direction would create a huge bottleneck and cars would pour <br />onto adjacent quiet neighborhood streets looking for a short cut. And I am not sure creating <br />more bike lanes leads to more bicyclists. Until we have better public transportation options on <br />the Jefferson Avenue corridor we need to accept we are married to the automobile. Please <br />schedule another meeting so the community can discuss this further. <br />Kevin and Diana Dolezal
