As a born and raised Santanera, I have a grounded understanding of why the <br /> Fairview Corridor and Bridge desperately need necessary improvements to ensure safety. However, I do not <br /> support using city funds to forcefully remove residents,the majority tenants, from their homes as the only way <br /> to make these improvements happen. An alternative to street widening needs to be considered and evaluated, <br /> given that studies have demonstrated that street widenings increase the number of pedestrian/bicyclist fatalities. <br /> Your duty is to adhere to Vision Zero, the goal to reduce pedestrian/bicyclist fatalities to zero! The objective <br /> should be to make the Fairview corridor more accessible and pedestrian/bicyclist centered; not centering <br /> automobiles knowing that adding lanes fails to reduce traffic. Please consider looking for other alternatives <br /> rather than displacing community members to widen a street that essentially would not resolve traffic <br /> congestion-related issues. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Maria Ceja <br /> i <br />
