Pedestrian and bike access
Please explain the nature of your concern(s) regarding pedestrian and bike access.
Mary Avenue between Evelyn and to the project area is not safe for bike use due to the large auto traffic volumes and the inconsistent bike facilities. North of Central Expressway, the bike lane disappears right where cars tend to start speeding.
Can you suggest other reasonable alternatives that would also achieve the project goals and avoid these impacts?
I'm fine with most of the project itself, but it needs to be considered in the larger context so that there is a safe network of routes throughout Sunnyvale and surrounding communities. The cycle track on the proposed bridge is an excellent idea, and needs to be continued where possible.
What mitigation measures would minimize these impacts?
Ensuring that a cyclist below the "fast and fearless" level has clear and safe paths to and from the project.
Which section would you like to skip to?
Traffic volumes
Please explain the nature of your concern(s) regarding traffic volumes.
Option 1 seems to encourage more traffic to an area which doesn't require it. Mary Avenue is overbuilt for the traffic it carries north of Central.

Traffic-related safety concerns
Please explain the nature of your concern(s) regarding traffic-related safety.

Mary Avenue lacks consistent bike paths/cycle tracks in the areas to the south of the project.
Can you suggest other reasonable alternatives that would also achieve the project goals and avoid these impacts?
No response.
What mitigation measures would minimize these impacts?
Mary Avenue should have consistent bike paths/cycle tracks in the areas to the south of the project, and the project itself should be linked to the rest of the cycling network.
