San Mateo's Safer Streets: New Bike Lanes & Crossings

San Mateo just wrapped up a year-long overhaul at the 3rd Avenue in Norfolk Street intersection,

one of the city's riskiest spots for walkers and,

bike riders, they added protected bike lanes,

fresh bike signals, and better pedestrian crossings to cut down on accidents.

City leaders pushed this project hard because the area had a bad rep for crashes

and now it's all about keeping folks safe on foot or two wheels.

Local cyclists with move San Mateo are hyped,

calling it a game changer that links people straight to parks and boost the whole community vibe.

But this ain't the end similar fixes are lined up for 19th Avenue and Fashion Island boulevard

and construction kicked off last month on the Delaware Street Safe Roots to school project.

The city's dropping $40 million into more upgrades down the line

with a river cutting tomorrow on April 25th to celebrate and keep the momentum rolling.
