CHAIR CASSANDRA WOO, VICE CHAIR TERESA AVELAR, COMMITTEE MEMBER ARI GERRITS. COMMITTEE MEMBER AL MECKLER, COMMITTEE MEMBER DAN SHERMAN, COMMITTEE MEMBER KAREN SUMNER. COMMITTEE MEMBER The City of South San Francisco's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) strongly supports staffs applications for the Active Transportation Program for the South San Francisco Linden Avenue/ Spruce Avenue and Sunshine Gardens Pedestrian and Bicycling Improvements Project. The projects will encourage walking and bicycling among the communities and will thus aid in helping to reduce air pollutants. The proposed projects will design a direct connection for improved bicycle and pedestrian safety, eliminating vehicle conflict points. This project will no doubt support and encourage the community to ride their bikes and walk, increasing alternate modes of transportation in the area. BPAC fully supports these applications, and encourages your support. If you require additional information from BPAC, please contact me at (650) 871 -0709.
