City policy requires that you must be a resident of Escuela Avenue to sign this petition.
The residents of Escuela Avenue between the intersections of Cristiano Ave and El Camino Real, and other nearby areas, request that bike lanes be added for the length of Escuela Avenue with the understanding that on street parking (approximately 50 spaces) would be removed from one side of Escuela Avenue should the bike lanes be added.
Why is this important?
With the death of William Ware, the need for improved pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure in the Rengstorff Park area has become abundantly clear. While Great Streets Rengstorff Park has a larger vision streets safe for bicycle, pedestrians and cars we are currently working to add bicycle lanes to Escuela Drive. This street receives heavy use by bicycles due to it's location near Rengstorff Park, the Senior and Teen Centers, the Day Worker Center and Community Gardens.
We hope you will sign this petition as a good beginning for improved safety for the Rengstorff Park area.
