Instead they were clustered around Route 13 and the intersection of McArthur. The traffic flow study did not address traffic below McArthur, thus does not take into account night time rush hour conditions. Single lane for Redwood will cause traffic to back up all the way to 580 and down 35th past the 580 overpass during evening rush hour.

To narrow it down to a single lane in either direction does not make sense for potential evacuation purposes. It is a major thoroughfare for the area.

It is a street that works. I lived directly off 35th avenue for many years, and found it to be the perfect width. Narrowing the street will make it impossible to exit and drive traffic into the neighborhoods, causing more accidents.

To go back 40 years! taking it down to one lane with a bike lane is a joke!! i would never ride a bike on that road if the current amount of traffic is confined to one lane! it's assinine! my backyard is at the corner of Victor and 35th Ave. and other than a few drunks,(with an exception of the young man from Merritt), there are very few problems for a road this size. you need to be careful

To see what would happen, just drive on the sections of 35th that are one lane between 580 and 880. It is always clogged up and people do dangerous moves to try to get around slower vehicles.

The city of San Mateo leads the way in protecting it's residents in this manner. It is very effective.

Besides, cars outnumber bicycles on this road at least 20,000 to 1. Narrowing the road is a really dumb idea...

The traffic in the morning and evening would only be worse and the safety issues that prompted in's creation would still not be addressed!!

My old bus stop was at 35th & Jordan.

Eliminate parking on the uphill portion (above Lincoln Square) and add a bike lane. Many bicyclists use Skyline Drive and the 2-lane portion of Redwood Rd to cycle to Moraga, so a bike lane would be advantageous. But DON'T eliminate lanes at great cost. That's silly.
