TransportationCommission | 2020-02-26 | 4 | streets or developing new projects. Commissioner Kohlstrand asked if we have data to show that the bicycle lane on Central has many collisions. She asked if the physical barrier is necessary for safety and questioned whether two way separated bike lanes are appropriate in applications where there are numerous cross street and/or driveway conflicts. Staff Member Thomas outlined some of the safety concerns along Central Avenue that lead to the staff recommendation for separated bike lanes. Chair Soules mentioned that it was clear when she was on the Central Avenue site visit that some of the simpler safety measures that could be applied to the Central and Webster intersection had not been deployed. She said there is a balance between doing regular maintenance safety measures and the larger, transformative projects. Staff Member Payne stated that Public Works is working with Caltrans to implement short- term visibility and other safety improvements along Central Avenue ahead of the larger safety project. Staff Member McGuire said that the resolution preference for separated bikeways does not dictate two-way facilities and that there would be a number of new one-way separated facilities, especially at Alameda Point. 4 | TransportationCommission/2020-02-26.pdf |
