We had asked our local community to weigh in on biking in our area, and whether improvements on Santa Cruz and Alameda for biking would change biking habits.
One question was related to the new shared bike lanes marked with “Sharrows”. The other question was related to actual bike lanes defined in the roadway.
Below are the results of the survey where 78 neighbors participated and about half of those provided addtional comments.
