Last night, the City of Sunnyvale Council agreed with our recommendation to send the Caribbean Drive design proposal back to staff for re-evaluation.

It is with a heavy heart that we share news of a bicyclist who was killed yesterday morning in Sunnyvale at Caribbean Drive and Borregas Avenue, near the SMaRT recycling center and the NetApp campus. We express our deepest sympathies to friends and family of the victim.

The City of Sunnyvale hosted a “Community Kickoff” meeting to discuss a proposed Mary Avenue overcrossing of Highways 101 and 237 on Tuesday, January 17. SVBC helped spread the word about the project and attended the meeting to learn more.

Thanks to bike advocate and Sunnyvale BPAC member Kevin Jackson for sharing this call to action with the SVBC community. SVBC submitted a letter (PDF) to the Sunnyvale City Council about the proposed Vision Zero study issue last week.

You probably know about the Vision Zero program, but if not you can read about it here. An obvious question is: Why would anyone be against this? Beats me, but in Sunnyvale a proposal to study developing a Vision Zero plan needs council's vote of approval in a workshop this Friday. Some in the city don't see the value in a Vision Zero program, so I'm asking for your help to make it happen.
