Subject: Why we think the Bicycle Advisory Commission is important

Dear Mayor Stepper,
We think the BAC is important for the town of Danville and its community. The BAC
along with Alan Kalin has helped us help Danville. The following three are on top of our
list.
• I was almost struck by a vehicle at the intersection of El Cerro Blvd and Diablo
Rd. The signal light had some timing issue. We reported this to Alan and it was
fixed soon thereafter.
• We were riding on Camino Tassajara and the bicycle lane and sidewalk were
inaccessible because of construction. We were forced to ride in traffic. I
suggested to Alan that if the bike lane is going to be closed, than one of the
traffic lanes should be closed for vehicles. Alan brought our videos and email to
the BAC. The next time we encountered this same situation, one of the traffic
lanes were indeed closed.
• We ride weekly to Mount Diablo and it is a blessing to have the new bike turnouts
when ascending. Although not technically Danville, the roads surrounding Mount
Diablo South Gate are in Danville. Alan had a major impact on getting the
turnouts completed. I think Alan's hard work and dedication is what our
community needs. Dublin and San Ramon have new (soon to be) pedestrian
bridges. Danville could probably utilize one in the future.
Best regards,
Kim and Rodney
