RE: Support for the South San Francisco East Grand Avenue Complete Streets Corridor
Improvements
Dear Mr. Anderson:
I am writing on behalf of the South San Francisco Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee (BPAC) to express support for the South San Francisco East Grand Avenue
Complete Streets Corridor Improvements.
East Grand Avenue serves as a key gateway to jobs in the East of 101 Area as well as the primary
connection to the South San Francisco Caltrain Station and access to the San Francisco Bay
Trail. The proposed Complete Streets Corridor Improvement project aims to enhance safety,
accessibility, traffic flow, and connectivity throughout the East of 101 Area, aligning with the City's
broader Vision Zero Policy and goals and policies to enhance active transportation for people of
all ages and abilities.
The project will create a continuous low-stress walking and bicycling connection from the South
San Francisco Caltrain Station east to the Bay Trail at Point San Bruno Park. The project,
paralleling East Grand Avenue, will provide a raised separated bicycle lane and/or multi-use path.
The existing intersections will be upgraded to protected intersections and will incorporate safety
improvements for people walking and bicycling. The new, continuous low stress connection will
make it easier for more people to access regional transit and for recreation. This improvement
will also support existing and future places of employment; providing more comfortable and
convenient multimodal travel options for people who work east of Highway 101.
In 2022, the City of South San Francisco completed a General Plan update and adopted Active
South City: Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. Both plans identified improvements along East
Grand Avenue as priority projects and included recommendations for the surrounding bicycle and
pedestrian network. These improvements are a priority for the City and are critical for the City to
meet its Vision Zero goal of zero traffic deaths and serious injuries on City streets by 2025.

We need more places in our city where people can feel safe and comfortable using all modes of
transportation. The City of South San Francisco East Grand Avenue Complete Streets Corridor
Improvements will be a huge step in the right direction. We believe it is possible for the City to
attain its goals and are excited for this funding opportunity to implement this project.
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee supports this important safety project and asks
that you approve the request for the Safe Routes to Transit and Bay Trail Program. Thank you for
your consideration of this project.
Sincerely,
Darryl Yip, Chair
South San Francisco Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee

The East Grand Avenue Complete Streets Corridor
Improvements project (the project) will create a continuous low-
stress walking and biking connection between the South San
Francisco Caltrain station and the Bay Trail at Point San Bruno
Park. The project’s western terminus is the South San
Francisco Caltrain Station and the eastern terminus is the Point
San Bruno Park. The project upgrades walking and biking
facilities along E Grand Avenue providing raised separated bike
lanes and upgraded, continuous sidewalks. The existing nine
37
intersections along the corridor will be upgraded to fully
protected intersections incorporating safety improvements for
people walking and biking. The project also includes enhancing
lighting at intersections and crossings as well as along the
corridor to improve road user visibility of potential conflicts as
well as personal security. Wayfinding signs will be integrated
along the corridor as well as at each end to provide clear
information for users as to how to reach not only the Caltrain
Station and Bay Trail but other destinations of interest such as
downtown South San Francisco and the South San Francisco
Ferry Terminal at Oyster Point. Amenities including water bottle
refill stations, drinking fountains, fix-it stations, and shaded
benches will be included at each end of the corridor as well as
select locations along the corridor to enhance the utility of the
new facility.
Please choose the
project phase(s).

separated bike lanes (Class IV), closing existing sidewalk gaps,
and enhancing active transportation user crossings through
use of protected intersections as well as a raised intersection to
manage vehicle speeds.

RE: Support for the South San Francisco East Grand Avenue Complete Streets Corridor
Improvements
Dear Mr. Anderson:
I am writing on behalf of the South San Francisco Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee (BPAC) to express support for the South San Francisco East Grand Avenue
Complete Streets Corridor Improvements.
East Grand Avenue serves as a key gateway to jobs in the East of 101 Area as well as the primary
connection to the South San Francisco Caltrain Station and access to the San Francisco Bay
Trail. The proposed Complete Streets Corridor Improvement project aims to enhance safety,
accessibility, traffic flow, and connectivity throughout the East of 101 Area, aligning with the City's
broader Vision Zero Policy and goals and policies to enhance active transportation for people of
all ages and abilities.
The project will create a continuous low-stress walking and bicycling connection from the South
San Francisco Caltrain Station east to the Bay Trail at Point San Bruno Park. The project,
paralleling East Grand Avenue, will provide a raised separated bicycle lane and/or multi-use path.
The existing intersections will be upgraded to protected intersections and will incorporate safety
improvements for people walking and bicycling. The new, continuous low stress connection will
make it easier for more people to access regional transit and for recreation. This improvement
will also support existing and future places of employment; providing more comfortable and
convenient multimodal travel options for people who work east of Highway 101.
In 2022, the City of South San Francisco completed a General Plan update and adopted Active
South City: Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. Both plans identified improvements along East
Grand Avenue as priority projects and included recommendations for the surrounding bicycle and
pedestrian network. These improvements are a priority for the City and are critical for the City to
meet its Vision Zero goal of zero traffic deaths and serious injuries on City streets by 2025.

We need more places in our city where people can feel safe and comfortable using all modes of
transportation. The City of South San Francisco East Grand Avenue Complete Streets Corridor
Improvements will be a huge step in the right direction. We believe it is possible for the City to
attain its goals and are excited for this funding opportunity to implement this project.
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee supports this important safety project and asks
that you approve the request for the Safe Routes to Transit and Bay Trail Program. Thank you for
your consideration of this project.
Sincerely,
Darryl Yip, Chair
South San Francisco Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee
