Sharrows for the Santa Cruz-Alameda de las Pulgas “Y”
New green bike “sharrows” (shared-lane markings) have been installed on Santa Cruz Avenue and Alameda de las Pulgas in the vicinity of the “Y”, a primary bike route between Stanford on the south and mid-Menlo Park on the north that is well-known as being extremely hazardous for people biking. These sharrows are a result of the work of an ad hoc Menlo Park advocacy group as well as the support of San Mateo County Supervisor Don Horsley and the County’s Department of Public Works.
