Infrastructure
C o ns tra ints
• Existing street network constrains travel for all users:
– Four streets provide access to the East of 101 Area, with one connection between the East of 101 Area and Lindenville – No comfortable bicycle connections across US-101
– Vulnerability of street network to disruptions (e.g. South Airport Bridge closure in 2018)
• General Plan and Lindenville Specific Plan concluded
that the existing network will not be able to handle
changing needs
– New street connections are needed even after the expansion of transit, active transportation, and TDM
