At the September 19, 2024 BPAC meeting, OakDOT Bicyclist and Pedestrian Program staff Patrick Phelan & Jason Patton will share about a community-submitted Capital Improvement Project (CIP) idea to create a safe biking and walking route through the Sobrante Park and Brookfield Village neighborhoods. They will explain how elements of the project idea will be implemented through paving and wayfinding projects and expanded to reach the waterfront and the wider bikeway network.

An excerpt is below, followed by the full presentation.
