Hello,
I am a Menlo Park resident and parent at Oak Knoll and am writing to express my support for the Coleman Ave bike lane pilot project.
I believe strongly that it is important for our community to support healthy, safe, and sustainable transportation options to key community hubs, including schools, parks, Caltrain, and the central business district. Furthermore, motor vehicle-caused accidents, including motor vehicle strikes on pedestrians and cyclists are one of the leading causes of death for children in our country.

I have no strong opinion on the specific details of the project other than to say that the evidence supports the most fully separated option possible for pedestrian and bicycle transportation.
Thank you,
John Leikauf
