Menlo Park City Council Email Log<BR>: RE: [willowsneighborhood]

May be my eyes are getting old, but I looked hard at the plans and
couldn't find bike lanes. If that is actually true I would be extremely
disappointed.

According to the "M e n l o P a r k COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE DEVELOPMENT
PLAN" the "Menlo Park General Plan" identifies as one of the improvement
projects "Class II bike lanes connecting the two existing segments on
each side of the Highway 101 crossing on Willow Road"

Can someone please tell me that the city staff followed the Menlo Park
General Plan and that the council would not approve a project that
doesn't do its outmost to achieve Goal II-D of the General Plan: "To
promote the use of bicycle as a commute alternative and for recreation."

Whenever I bike with my children to Flood Park I can't understand why
the bike lane along Willow ends at O'Keefe and doesn't connect at least
to Bay Rd. The current situation just doesn't make sense. This
improvement project is a great opportunity to fix a big part of that
problem. Let's hope it is not too late for the Willow Road Improvement
to make Menlo Park's roads safer for biking children and everyone else
who tries to get by bike to our neighborhood parks.

Regards,

Manfred Kopisch

The 800/900 block Willow Road improvement project is finally

construction, contingencies, testing, engineering, inspection, and
administration.
