I am unable to attend the meeting, but do have some concerns/requests about the intersection of Marin and Peralta.
1. Waiting to turn left off of Peralta onto Marin, there is no bike sensor. The light doesn’t seem to change from red to green until a car arrives, or a pedestrian pushes the walk button.
2. Riding east-bound on Marin, the lanes shift somewhat, so cars tend to edge into the bike lane at the east side of the intersection. Adding a dashed-line lane marker (like at Curtis) might be helpful.
Thanks!
Dear R. Konoff-
As a member of the appointed Traffic and Safety Commission, I’d like to invite you to attend this Thursday’s Commission meeting for May. Alternatively, you could write an email to the Commission in care of our staff support person, Aleida Andrino Chavez, Transportation Planner, at achavez@albanyca.org.
You could also gather support for this idea in AS&R outside of our meeting by posting to the Discussion List.
Thanks for your ideas,
Ken
