The City is proposing another plan reimagining the historic landmark Hyperion Bridge when it goes through an earthquake retrofit.
Proposal 1A leaves 2 lanes of vehicle traffic in both directions, but puts pedestrians in direct conflict with bicyclists on 8' wide sidewalks. Expect lots of blowback from the bike & pedestrian lobbies. Considering they can't share a 12' wide path in Elysian Valley - this will be a huge sticking point.
Lots of Red Car Property neighbors have asked me what can be done to alleviate traffic in the area - particularly when it comes to losing car lanes to bike lanes. If you care one way or another, pay attention & speak up to your City Councilmembers now.
