The BPAC strongly supports this grant application. The BPAC stated that the proposed shared-use path on El Camino Real between the City limits with the Town of Colma to Hickey Boulevard is a much-needed connection. The Committee views this as a critical connection between South San Francisco and Colma and on to Daly City. The BPAC supported the proposed shared-use path as a way to serve both bicyclists and pedestrians in a constrained space.

Committee Member McAuley shared that a barricade would need to be installed beyond the bus stop. • Chair Yip shared that this project sets a positive precedent for working with Caltrans on El Camino Real, and the other Committee members agreed.
