Make the Lincoln Avenue Road Diet Permanent in Willow Glen
Since February of this year, Lincoln Avenue in Willow Glen, a business district in San José, has been experiencing a pilot road diet, which has aimed to make the street safer and more friendly to all transportation choices, including people who bike. SVBC has promoted this project from the beginning and there was a lot of work that went into researching the best ideas and doing community outreach.A couple months ago, staff checked it out and the San José local team led a bike ride out to the district. We've been thrilled with the results and the improved accessibility to Willow Glen businesses for people who bike and walk. It has also created a safer streetscape.Not everyone is convinced however. We want to ensure that the community and businesses hear why these changes have benefited the residents and visitors to Willow Glen.Here's what you can do:
- Educate yourself and read the City of San José's report on the pilot.
- Sign the petition in favor of the road diet.
- Attend the public input meeting on June 18 to voice your support.
