SUNNYVALE BPAC SCHEDULES HEARING

Commission will review prioritization of bicycle and pedestrian traffic

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – Sunnyvale’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission (BPAC) will hold a public hearing to examine the prioritization of bicycle and pedestrian traffic with other traffic and parking on major roads.

The hearing will be November 15, at 7 p.m. in the City Hall West Conference Room, 456 W. Olive Ave. The purpose of the hearing is to hear public comment on a proposed policy change that would emphasize the use of major roads for the movement of vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians and transit versus on-street parking. Based on future Council action, this could potentially change the City’s transportation planning to give priority to bike facilities, sidewalks and possibly even additional travel lanes over on-street parking.
