Question 1
• Other - I'm retired, and no longer commute. Mary is my access route to eastbound Central; I may use it twice a week; occasionally I use it to get to Maude..
Question 2
• Underpass of Mary Avenue with “jug handle” connection to Evelyn Avenue
Question 3
• This has better circulation patterns for cars, buses, etc. • This has better circulation patterns for bicyclists, scooters, etc. • Other - Separating turning traffic from through traffic is a major win. It will matter greatly what the traffic control is at the ends of the jughandle.
I hope for traffic lights synchronized to let traffic flow along Mary and along Evelyn.
Question 4
• Car
Question 5
• Other - Ten years ago, I was laid off from Blue Coat, but for the five years before that I walked or bicycled to work (on Mary between Carson and Maude), or to the post office when it was still on Mary. These days, I only go by car.
Question 6
• No, I would use vehicles the same amount
Question 7
The no on that last question is because illness prevents me from walking very far (even a block is difficult) or bicycling at all. I live about three blocks from the intersection of Carson and Mary. I have been delayed so much by the current on-grade crossing: I typically am northbound on Mary, and when the gates come down, I can count on at least five minutes delay, as (independent of where on the cycle the gates came down) when the gates go up, first traffic going straight on Evelyn continues briefly, and then left turns from Evelyn get to go, followed by more traffic going straight on Evelyn, and then left turns from Mary - finally, if another train does not come, I get my turn to go straight, northbound, on Mary. I am really looking forward to the completion of the grade separation! Perhaps with the railroad out of the picture, the lights at California and Mary can get synchronized - currently, when I finally get across Evelyn, I get stopped nine times out of ten because the light at California goes red. I'm looking forward to getting from Carson to Central (turning right at Central, I can pretty much ignore the light at Mary and Central) without stopping for a red light. I think I've done that once in all the years since the light at Callifornia was installed (before that light was installed, I could do it more frequently - I commuted that way from 1986-1989, taking Central, and from 1989-1997, staying on Mary to get to 101 southbound).
Question 8
• I do not or rarely travel through here
Question 9
• Underpass Tunnel of Sunnyvale Avenue underneath Evelyn Ave, Caltrain tracks, and Hendy Ave
Question 10
• Other - When I do use this intersection, I am travelling by car along Sunnyvale, so it is good to preserve that option. From 1999 to 2006, I occasionally (frequently, towards the end) commuted by bicycle, and used this intersection because it was flat.

Question 11
• Other - I rarely use this intersection; these days only by car.
Question 12
• I do not travel through this crossing
Question 13
• No, I would use vehicles the same amount
Question 14
Again, these days illness prevents me from walking or bicycling. But I should mention that when I was commuting by bicycle, I crossed the tracks at Sunnyvale Avenue because climbing a hill on a bicycle was not easy for me - the flat crossing at Sunnyvale (then continuing on Hendy to get onto Kifer at Fair Oaks) was my chosen solution. I never had a safety issue with the tracks - I respect the trains, and gave them a wide berth. If I were healthy enough to bicycle, I would have a major problem with any of the grade separation solutions simply because they all involve riding uphill. There is never enough room to make the grade of the bicycle path low enough for me - unless there are hairpin bends (I fall over if I do not walk my bike through them - I did try a couple of times before I got sick to commute on the Stevens Creek bicycle trail, from Evelyn to the north side of 101), as there is rarely room for wider turns.

Regardless of the alternative chosen, all intersections should be protected intersections. This will make it SOOOO much more comfortable for cyclists. The bike lanes should also be protected and preferably at the same level as the sidewalk.

The full underpass tunnel option is unwieldy and too expensive. It's also terrible for turning between Hendy, Sunnyvale Ave, and Evelyn.

Question 7
Traffic delays when trains pass can last close to 10 minutes with signal pattern as it is now. Grade separation will greatly improve traffic flow, reduce emissions from idling vehicles, make the track crossings much safer and eliminate train horn and signal noise. The project will make the whole area so much more peaceful.

• Yes, because I would feel safer without the train tracks Question 14
Too much congestion with track crossing as is especially at commute times. Way too much noise with track gates and train horn. Absolutely needs fixing. Grade separation will be safer for all. Living conditions (night and day) for everyone in the Sunnyvale crossing area will be so much better.

Question 7
We're residents on Carson Drive and are worried about the increase of traffic down Carson as a short cut to Washington Drive and as a bypass to the left turn lane now on Bidwell. I like that there's going to be no left turn from Mary to Bidwell and wondering if it would make sense to block lefts from Mary to Carson.
While biased, I have personally stopped trying to turn left on Carson from Mary or turn left onto Mary from Carson when driving because of the speed and increase of traffic on Mary. To get home on Carson, I now drive down to Washington and turn left.

Question 7
Neither option is very good and considering we are going to be saddled with a $300M+ price tag. Is this cost estimate even in the ball park with the supply chain problems and the recent inflation? Hoping that Sunnyvale doesn't get stuck with the bill for cost over-runs.
We need to get rid of CalTrain and replace it with a more efficient public transit solution that serves more of the general public in a more cost effective fashion. Electric busses come to mind.

My only issue with the "jughandle" option is that it makes the right turn from Mary (southbound) onto Evelyn (westbound) into two left turns in quick succession. When cycling through the result I would be much more likely to continue south to Washington instead. This may be a concern if the cycle path down the caltrain tracks ever happens: if there is no way to get to it without multiple left turns I am much less likely to use it when bike commuting.

Question 14
Transit bus routes use SV Ave, cars use SV Ave to get to downtown shopping etc. I see the bike-pedestrian option as a lose-lose for downtown. Why would you block a major route downtown to cars and transit buses? Better to use the less expensive option at Mary Ave and the more expensive option near downtown. Downtown restaurants and shops are just recovering. Blocking cars and transit buses from crossing the RR tracks on SV Ave makes no long-term economic sense. Currently, bike and pedestrian access on SV Ave is fine across the tracks. It would be better to do nothing on SV Ave than to go forward with the no car and bus transit option.

Question 5

Question 6
• No, I would use vehicles the same amount
Question 7
I have a mild preference for the jug handle because it widens the road less and has less construction impact and time. Personally, besides using Caltrain, I only bike through on Evelyn Ave. or drive through on Mary Ave. I imagine that most routes going through the intersection don't involve turning from one street to another due to nearby route options, so the jug handle option may have better circulation performance since it seems better for straight crossings.
Ultimately, I want the city to pick the solution that is more sustainable long term.
Question 8
• Getting to downtown Sunnyvale
Question 9
• Bicycle and Pedestrian only Underpass of Sunnyvale – No cars Question 10
• This has better circulation patterns for bicyclists, scooters, etc. • This has better circulation patterns for pedestrians. • Other - This preserves a more pedestrian/bike-friendly, car-free downtown character.
Question 11
• Bicycle
Question 12
• Car
• Transit – Caltrain
Question 13
• No, I would use vehicles the same amount
Question 14
I think that the first option that preserves the car crossing is a bad idea because it ruins walkability of the Sunnyvale Ave. and Evelyn Ave. intersection (in order to prioritize vehicle traffic no less). The intersection is really close to where the Sunnyvale farmer's market is. The eastern section of downtown Sunnyvale is already low-traffic, has small streets, and is generally walkable/bikeable. It would be nice to keep it that way, since it's bordered by the extremely large Mathilda Ave. on the other side.
Developing walkable urban areas and cities is good! Closing the intersection to cars does make it harder for cars to reach the south (main) entrance of the Caltrain station (which is important) from the north though, especially since Mathilda and Evelyn is such an awkward intersection.
It also seems like Sunnyvale Ave. is being framed as an important biking route (especially from Borregas Ave.), and eliminating the car crossing makes biking on Sunnyvale Ave. north of the intersection better because it reduces car traffic. On the stretch of Sunnyvale Ave. between California Ave. and Evelyn Ave., cars may conflict with bikes due to the narrow width of the road, especially when there are cars parked on either side (which there often are). One time I biked that stretch and the car behind me honked at me and aggressively passed me because they had to wait behind me when there was traffic in the other direction.
Ultimately, I think this intersection would be better if it prioritized pedestrians, bikes, and a world with less cars (public transportation is okay :) ).

I don't think I've ever crossed the tracks there by car, unless I was lost. It's so much less convenient than Fair Oaks/Wolfe or Mathilda. But I do bike downtown a lot, and this looks like an inviting new option.

• Other - Another option you didn't show is having a jughandle option but with the Evelyn trail be at grade and ramps down to connect with Mary.
This would be the ideal and safest option for bikes and pedestrians. It is cheaper than Option #1.
Question 4
• Bicycle
Question 5

Question 6
• Yes, because I would feel safer without the train tracks Question 7
I don't understand the above question. I thought you are definitely grade- separating Mary Ave., so why do you precede this question with "IF Mary Avenue was grade separated ..."? Also on this last question, safety for bikes and pedestrians doesn't depend on just the grade separation. It depends on how the bike + ped infrastructure for the undercrossing is implemented. If bikes are forced to use the jughandle to connect between Mary and Evelyn, then bike safety is actually compromised compared to a simple intersection. So, I can't answer this question without knowing how you will implement the bike infrastructure.

Question 14
For bikers on Sunnyvale Ave. crossing underneath Caltrain, it would be lower stress if cars aren't allowed at the crossing (option #2). For that option, consider putting a straight down ramp parallel to Sunnyvale Ave for both southbound and northbound bike traffic so that bikers don't have to slow down. Currently, the ramp that is designed on the north side forces bikers to slow down, almost stop, to make a perpendicular turn onto the ramp.

Question 14
The car underpass option will alienate people who live on Evelyn or nearby because it will be very hard to cross Sunnyvale on foot. For this reason I'm strongly in favor of the bike/pedestrian underpass option only.
In fact, I would strongly prefer to keep the current status over the car underpass option. Even for me as someone who lives very near the intersection and has to "suffer through" the train noise and crossings, the current situation is way better than being unable to cross Sunnyvale Ave mid-block.

Please please please do not ruin our access from Sunnyvale ave to the downtown area via CAR. It is unrealistic to think people can walk or use a bike - that is not suitable for senior citizens or others with disabilities. We rely on being able to pass for basic every day needs. A full tunnel for cars should be built that does NOT restrict any car traffic. It will cause a decline in property values in the area also if cars can no longer pass.

I drive this route often, but know that I can easily drive to these same places using Mathilda. I also often bike to downtown and it would feel friendlier without the car traffic. Both plans are a nice improvement, but making this space pedestrian/bike friendly is the way of the future.

Question 14
I live nearby and will be impacted by construction. I would prefer that this crossing be closed to vehicles but still accessible to bike and pedestrians.
Sunnyvale Ave is an important bike path for students at the middle school and high school level. Currently, some cars go through here at speeds that are not incredibly safe for youth. Making the streets bigger and more of a thoroughfare would only increase these hazards. Instead, I would prefer that the crossing was closed to vehicles, thereby decreasing vehicle traffic through this area, and that bike and pedestrian pathways be made safer.

Question 14
This construction project has the opportunity to make Sunnyvale Rd a safer and more effective bike thoroughfare. By reducing car through- traffic and improving bike and pedestrian flow it will help the children riding to school (Bishop and SMS) and adults riding to Caltrain and to the offices East of Moffett Field.

The "Jug Handle" scenario really looks like it will create backup turning nightmares for people wanting to get access to or escape North Mary; plus, it wipes out some commercial properties.
This is REALLY something that lends itself to animated software simulations. It's easy to do. Really: I've done these for decades. You have years of minute-by-minute traffic density data that could be pumped into simulations with varying traffic signal durations.
Until I see this visual data-supported proof of non-nightmarish traffic flow, I can't support this "Jug Handle" scenario.

Why not just eliminate the intersection at Mary and Evelyn altogether? Evelyn would continue at grade along the Caltrain corridor as it does today, and Mary would go under both Evelyn and the Caltrain corridor.

The jughandle is a weird circulation pattern coming to from Mary north turning onto Evelyn west. Like the Mathilda north turning onto Evelyn.
Unexpected circulation pattern is more likely to cause driver confusion and thus more accident-prone.
Question 8

Murphy Park is the only neighborhood park within walking distance for south of Evelyn, Heritage District. It would be a lot safer to get to from south of Evelyn when taking a baby on a stroller or walking with kids.

The pedestrian/bicycle-only option would hurt more people than it would help due to longer car travel times for Sunnyvale Ave. traffic, increased traffic on Mathilda and Fair Oaks, and the associated increased carbon emissions (at least until all of our powered vehicles are electric). We should not pay $100M (or more) for something that does more net harm than good. The vehicular tunnel would be a worthwhile improvement for the city, but if we can't get that then doing nothing at all would be the preferable option by far.

Question 7
Almost all traffic is motor vehicles; despite the projections the primary traffic delay is, and will continues to be, the signal delay for vehicles on Mary and Evelyn crossing the other road. Both options presented eliminate the delay for Caltrains, but the option without the Jughandle does not eliminate the primary delay.
I am appalled that the option to build a bridge for Mary to cross over both the tracks and Evelyn appears to have already been eliminated, despite it manifestly having less impact, and I suspect being faster and cheaper to implement.
In any case, the Mary reconstruction should be scheduled to not overlap construction at nearby crossings of the tracks at Mathilda or the 237.
And prior to beginning construction, the delay to cross the tracks and Evelyn should be minimized by a simple (and extremely low cost) change of the signal phasing to make the Mary through phase occur immediately after the crossing gates are raised (currently, the Evelyn through phases occur immediately after a train passage, and sometimes the signal never reaches the Mary through phase before the next train passage - I have seen delays upwards of 5 minutes due to this).

Question 13
• No, I would use vehicles the same amount
Question 14
I have found the tracks to be an insignificant delay when on foot or bicycling, but I have found pedestrian/cycle underpasses at other locations to be far more unpleasant that a level crossing of tracks - bicycles passing in the confined space are a greater hazard than the trains, the tunnel confines people where they can be preyed upon by muggers and panhandlers, and they are noisy and collect unpleasant smells and debris.
I also wonder if the plan has considered the effects of flooding due to storm drain blockage and/or unusually heavy rains.
As to the effect on vehicle traffic, the narrowing of Sunnnyvale Ave. to one lane and the grossly conservative timing of the signals has almost eliminated its value, even while the adjacent Fair Oaks crossing has been crippled by reconstruction there. Unless the recent degradation of vehicle traffic flow on Sunnyvale Ave. is reversed, the money for either of the proposed options would have been better spent adding another vehicle lane to Fair Oaks or Mathilda.
I also see no evidence that a bridge over the tracks was considered, despite it having manifestly lower impact, and I suspect lower cost and time to implement, and not creating or revealing a host of new and/or unforeseen problems by attempting to dig a big ditch in the densest part of the downtown area.
Vehicle traffic flow could instead be significantly improved by a simple (and very cheap) change in the phasing of the signal at Sunnyvale and Evelyn so that the north-south Sunnyvale Ave. through phases occur immediately after the crossing gates are raised (instead of the current configuration which makes the Evelyn through phases occur after the 79 | www.opentownhall.com/11919 Created with OpenGov | August 9, 2022, 11:42 AM Caltrain crossing options at Mary and Sunnyvale avenues How should we change the Caltrain crossings at Mary and Sunnyvale avenues? Attachment 5
crossing gates are raised, delaying the north-south through phases, sometimes until another train passes, resetting the signal to the Evelyn through phases again - potentially repeatedly). For a higher but still comparatively small cost, the Sunnyvale Caltrain station boarding platform could be moved a bit further west, so that it is not so close that it keeps the crossing gates down while trains board.

Question 14
I strongly oppose the option that eliminates car traffic on Sunnyvale Ave to cross the tracks! It would be EXTREMELY inconvenient to go to Mathilda or Fair Oaks to cross. Both of those roads are already heavily traveled; no need to add more traffic. I am also disappointed to see that there would not be access to Hendy from Sunnyvale Ave. That is a convenient way to gain access to Home Depot and Kifer Rd.

Question 7
I am currently comfortable traveling through the intersection using non- vehicle modes. I would feel less safe traveling through the intersection by bike in the jughandle option given the added intersections and left hand turns required when turning from Evelyn to Mary or Mary to Evelyn.
If walking from 991 Asilomar Terrace and Expressions of Sunnyvale in general, would we have to walk all the way to California first to be able to access Mary to cross under the railroad tracks? Is there an option to add a pedestrian stairs/ramp to avoid having to walk all the way to California and back in this case?

I currently feel comfortable using non-vehicle modes to travel through.
Separating grade would not change that for me.
I assume the bicycle and pedestrian underpass only option would reduce vehicle traffic on Sunnyvale, which would make it nicer to use Sunnyvale for bicycling as a connector from bike paths on Evelyn to Borregas.
If we choose the cheaper option for the Sunnyvale Avenue crossing, will that make it easier to fund the more expensive option for the Mary crossing?

As a bicycle commuter/traveler (as opposed to recreational use), I consider an "ornamental path" as shown in the "bicycle and pedestrian" plan to be a non-starter. Sunnyvale Avenue is a cycling corridor with overpasses for 247 and 101. I would like you to understand that inserting narrow turns will be destructive to throughput for cyclists and/or create collision hazards with pedestrians.

Question 1
• Commuting for work
Question 2

Question 4

Question 5
• Walking
Question 6
• No, I would use vehicles the same amount
Question 7
Adding additional unnecessary streetlights is bad for Evelyn Avenue and traffic congestion. The underpass is more straightforward and simple.
Mary Avenue is currently 2-3 lanes in each direction, so I don't see it as a major bicycle route due to the quantity and speed of cars. Facilitating better car flow through this intersection is more important currently. I would like to see better bicycling/pedestrian options on Mary, but don't think that the "jug handle" approach would address those issues effectively.
Question 8
• Accessing businesses and amenities close to this location Question 9

Question 11

Question 12

Question 13
• Yes, because the project is adding bicycle and pedestrian improvements
Question 14
This is a wonderful idea. Sunnyvale Avenue has only a single lane in each direction, so closing the street to cars and making it more safe for pedestrians and bicyclists would be a welcome improvement. The other options for crossing the train tracks are better for cars (Matilda, Fair Oaks) due to having more lanes. I would love to see Sunnyvale Avenue become the main pedestrian and cycling infrastructure for traveling safely North/South through Sunnyvale. Currently the only North/South travel methods that are closed to cars are the Stevens Creek Trail and the Calabazas Creek Trail, neither of which go through the entire city North/South. I would love to see Sunnyvale Avenue become more exclusively bike/pedestrian -- with no cars -- over time.

As a pedestrian I have come within inches of being hit by a car before. Sunnyvale Av is not safe, making it more difficult for cars to get through will help with that.

I like the idea of keeping Evelyn at the current grade (same as the railroad tracks) and to have Mary crossing underneath both Caltrain tracks and Evelyn.
I don't know whether there is sufficient turn traffic between Evelyn and Mary to really need that jug-handle (possible cost saving).
While I do prefer this option, the other option (lowering Evelyn to intersect with the Mary underpass) would also be acceptable to me.

The no-vehicle choice does involve some inconvenience for the folks who currently live on Sunnyvale Ave near the crossing -- but it's a LOT less expensive, and if they are driving it's not that big a deal to go to Mary or Fair Oaks (when the Fair Oaks overcrossing is done). And maybe this will encourage people to walk or bike to downtown when they might have driven previously.

I walk into town from the SNAIL neighborhood as often as possible vs driving. I'm not qualified to develop a traffic flow analysis that would account for the impact of the tremendous increase in residential housing that is in construction. That housing will eventually add hundreds of vehicles to the surrounding roads, even if some take public transit or cycle to their destination. Cutting off vehicular transportation between Evelyn and Hendy would result in serious traffic problems on adjacent roads (Washington, McKinley, Olive, etc.). It is certainly unfortunate that allowing motorized vehicles (buses, cars, etc.) through a tunnel will cost so much more and require reconstruction of so many driveways. If I could see the traffic flow model and find that a healthy road capacity is maintainable, I would much prefer to walk through a tunnel without motorized vehicles traveling adjacent to the pedestrian walkway.

I've been unable to ride a bicycle since I had bad side effects from chemotherapy in 2018, but even when I did, I primarily used the Sunnyvale Avenue grade crossing when commuting to Edify by bicycle (1999-2006) because I found it hard to climb the Fair Oaks over-crossing.
Even if I were able to ride a bicycle, I would probably have a hard time using the Mary Avenue under-crossing. But with the jughandle, taking a bicycle from Mary to Evelyn would not require me to climb a hill in any direction. The other option would not work for me (I'd take Washington instead of Evelyn in that case).
Question 8

• Underpass Tunnel of Sunnyvale Avenue underneath Evelyn Ave, Caltrain tracks, and Hendy Ave
Question 10
• This has better circulation patterns for cars, buses, etc. • Other - I'd feel safer sharing tunnel with cars, and wouldn't have to do a weird merge back into Sunnyvale Ave traffic.
Question 11
• Car
Question 12
• Walking
Question 13
• No, I would use vehicles the same amount
Question 14
I turn onto Hendy from Sunnyvale to get home (it's a nasty left turn) so both options mean I have to detour. The business on the first block of Hendy past Sunnyvale will suffer.
I lot of people doing Caltrain pickup wait on Hendy then access Sunnyvale Ave
I don't think I'd feel safe in a pedestrian/bike underpass, without vehicular traffic, so I hope the parts are well separated.

Bike & Ped underpass leaving Sunnyvale Ave intact between Washington and Evelyn leave the small business district intact, does not degrade the businesses along this section, allows for large trucks to service the local business, and provides for better use of the limited parking available to the area. It does not fragment our downtown by a lowered barrier roadway while also sustains better pedistrian access to the area with unifying aspect to Sunnyvale's downtown.

I would prioritize resources to grade separation of Sunnyvale Ave since this is impacted by long delays due to the nearby station and the consequent long delays due to trains stopped at the station. This is a major route to access downtown stores and services for the north side of Sunnyvale. The delays due to trains stopping at the nearby station are long and will be worse when more trains are running. I do not think Sunnyvale Ave will be an option to access downtown as more trains are added without the underpass.

I think the "Underpass of Mary and Evelyn intersection" is the better long term solution for this intersection. This solution provides the communities north of the tracks and business and retail traffic to have easy access into Sunnyvale. It also better supports pedestrians and bicycle safer movement through the intersections, promoting more non- vehicle use in this area.

Question 14
I think the "Underpass Tunnel of Sunnyvale Avenue underneath Evelyn Ave, Caltrain tracks, and Hendy Ave" is the better long term solution for this intersection. If Sunnyvale Ave is chopped in half at the tracks, you will separate Sunnyvale into "the haves" and "have-nots". After all the long hard work to create a thriving downtown Sunnyvale, you will be cutting off access for the communities, business and retail traffic from 'the other side of the tracks' to get to the new downtown. This then also reduces the economic growth potential for all the downtown retail businesses.

Question 6

Question 7
I try to use a bicycle as my primary local transport and Evelyn is about the best east/west way of getting to/from Sunnyvale downtown. Very happy with any option that improves cycling options along Evelyn, and would prefer to have Evelyn stay at grade, while Mary is lowered (which is also the cheaper of the two options).

Question 14
I would prefer the bicycle/pedestrian underpass option. Cheaper option, and better for encouraging cyclists and pedestrians. Sunnyvale lacks good/safe/quiet options for travel in north/south directions. Making Sunnyvale Ave a bicycle/pedestrian underpass would help speed bike/foot traffic through the intersection while also causing a reduction in car traffic on the north section of Sunnyvale Ave, helping to make it a great cycling route. (North/south vehicle traffic is already well served by the nearby Fairoaks and Mathilda,neither of which are very bicycle friendly.) Thanks for looking to make cycling safer in Sunnyvale!

My primary concern with option #2 is that vehicles will no longer be able to travel North <-> South on Sunnyvale Ave beyond that point and will be forced to re-route to Mathilda Ave (adding more traffic to that road, and distance to their trips). I live close to Sunnyvale Ave and it's my primary means of crossing the Caltrain tracks via car (e.g. to travel between Maude and El Camino). Would prefer it not be closed off to cars there!

• Yes, both of the above
Question 14
I live at 186 N. Sunnyvale Avenue. Vehicles currently speed by at 40 to 50 mph. A vehicle underpass would likely result in even faster traffic. There have been many accidents at the Sunnyvale/California intersection under the current configuration. (Please check your records). Enabling faster traffic on this two lane neighborhood street is a recipe for disaster. My wife and I have both been "rear-ended" pulling into our driveway from the north bound direction.

Question 5

Question 6
• Yes, both of the above
Question 7
In the design where the whole intersection is lowered, cyclists traveling along Evelyn passing Mary will encounter a stoplight at the bottom of the underpass. This is more burdensome for cyclists since they'd have to stop at the light (if red) and then would have to work back up the hill. For the jughandle option, the traffic along Evelyn avoids the potential of a stop at the bottom of a new valley, which would be more favorable and potentially safer for cycling along Evelyn.

The yes-cars underpass tunnel option seems like it is substantially more expensive, higher execution risk, would take longer to complete, and the proposed design would make it harder to get from Evelyn Ave to the downtown side of Sunnyvale Ave and vice-versa than the no-cars option would. I prefer the no-cars option, especially when it's so close to our downtown area.

not having to wait for the train would be convenient
Not adding a dedicated bike lane in Proposal A (car tunnel) is a huge missed opportunity, and would probably discourage biking. That crossing is bad enough with the bike lane suddenly going away, also making it a tunnel (without dedicated, separated bike lane) would feel more dangerous for biking than what we have now.
