“That we work in a small but urban environment is no excuse for the dearth of affordable and accessible parking. Downtown suffers because of it.”
“The city of Berkeley is unlike other cities because it actively discourages leisure shopping and working in the
city.”
“Parking in downtown Berkeley is difficult and expensive.

Despite merchant perceptions, people who drive only account for 28% of downtown visitors. To increase business merchants should cater to people who bike, as they visit downtown the most often and spend the most money per month.

SAFETY
REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS
Supporting goBerkeley’s efforts can manage car parking demand in the area, freeing up bikeway space.
Increasing bike parking will make it easier for cyclists to stop in the area to shop.
Dutch junctions and bike signals will reduce conflict and confusion at intersections,
Improving intersections will facilitate and encourage access to adjacent businesses.
Physically separating the bike lane will reduce vehicle lane width, which will calm traffic.
Separating bikes from cars will allow both to travel more efficiently.
Improving safety and comfort will encourage more children to bike to school, reducing congestion associated with pick-up and drop-off.
Permeable pavers and bioswales will manage stormwater.
Used in the school zone, permeable pavers can slow bike traffic, reducing conflict with pedestrians.
Creating a safe, comfortable, and efficient cycling environment will encourage more people to bike, rather than drive, reducing carbon emissions.
