From: Pavca có OS Sent: Monday, April 8, 2024 6:16 AM To: TEPublicComment Subject: 87 bike path around Tamien | [External Email] O AA Hi there, | live in South San Jose, between Capitol Expressway and Monterey Rd. | ride to Mountain View once a week. The closest trails to our neighborhood are 87 and Coyote Creek Trail. CCT is flooded going North, the 87 bike path is surrounded by encampments especially around Tamien, and the GRT is the same before you get to the airport or gets flooded and unpassable. I'd like to know what maintenance is planned to serve us better. The bike super highway is great but will not be of use to south San Jose if the trails leading to it are not safe or passable. Thank you, Patricia | This message is from outside the City email system. Do not open links or attachments from untrusted sources.
