7 new Bike Boulevards coming to San Jose!
Diana Crumedy
Earlier this year the City of San Jose applied for a grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Safe & Seamless Mobility Quick-Strike Program (Quick Strike) to fund the construction of certain En Movimiento transportation plan projects.
The City of San Jose is excited to report that they were successful and were recently awarded $1.4 million dollars to design and build up to seven bike boulevards that were proposed as part of the En Movimiento transportation plan.
Bike Boulevards are streets where vehicle traffic is slowed down and cut through traffic is discouraged to make biking and walking safer and more enjoyable. Bike Boulevards use signs, traffic diverters, speed humps, pavement markings, and other traffic calming devices to discourage cut through traffic and slow cars down.
Over the next six months the Department of Transportation (DOT), in partnership with the community, will design these projects.
The seven project corridors being considered are:
21st St (Roosevelt Park to William St)
William St (Brookwood Ave to Bonita Ave)
28th St & Bonita Ave (Santa Clara St to William St)
33rd St (Melody Ln to E. San Antonio St)
Kammerer Ave (King Rd to Jackson Ave)
Sunset Ave (Alum Rock Ave to Lavonne Ave)
Jose Figueres Ave, Scharff Ave, Packing Pl (McKee Rd to Kammerer Ave)
Please forward this email to anyone you think might be interested in this project. Thank you!
