Pros & Cons - 4 to 3 Lane Change
Comments
More bad ideas Re: 4 to 3 lanes, been there done that!
Remember when this was done to the Avy/Alameda area around the Goose? Supposedly we were to have "Carmel-like experience", by slowing/calming traffic... well, we sure did SLOW the traffic... ugh! And the woman responsible for spearheading the idea promptly relocated when the project was completed! Thanks so much. Now we suffer daily, not exactly a calming experience. Do you really want to share this with more of MP and Atherton? Atherton will be needing more lanes, not less, when the Las Lomitas School project is completed.
BTW, I cycle 5 miles to and from work 3X a week, and I navigate with care thru the areas mentioned to Portola Valley using Alpine Rd. 8yrs.now.
Sidewalks
This 4 to 3 lane change does not include sidewalks, but does include the survey boundry for the future sidewalks (see Safety Issue #11 - Alameda Sidewalks). Since the proposal is not to encroach on residential property for the new and wider sidewalks, it will instead use the available road width for the needed sidewalk width. The primary action needed for this proposal is re-striping the traffic lines: Removing current lane marks and painting new 3 lane configuration lines. That restriping process will also provide the survey marks for future ADA compliant sidewalks.
Lets add more pros and cons..
