Subject: Please support a safer 2nd/4th Street Intersection Hello Councilmembers and City Staff,
I strongly support the effort to redesign 2nd/4th Streets intersection in the West End to be safer for all road users, especially those walking or biking. It's vitally important that the new design include a safer and more direct crosswalk across 2nd street and a mechanism to slow westbound 4th Street vehicles.
I do understand that there is opposition from local residents to the closing of the left turn onto Marquard Ave. Currently the conflict with cars turning left at the intersection of the 2nd St multi-use pathway to West End Ave is very dangerous to cyclists. That intersection of the 2nd St pathway to West End Ave is a major thoroughfare with a steady high volume of cyclists traveling to West Marin from SF and the East Bay.
We're glad you're considering the safety of cyclists in your plan. Please approve the funding to complete the design.
Thank you,
Joe Mulligan
