Safe streets that children can walk & bike

Getting around Mountain View shouldn’t mean that every adult owns a car, or that you have to worry about your child every time they leave for school on their own.

• Build a connected network of protected bike lanes linking neighborhoods, schools, downtown, and transit.
• Redesign the most dangerous streets and intersections for people, not just based on outdated design guidelines that focus on increasing car dependency, while also improving safety for those driving by adopting street design that naturally prevents speeding.
• Maintain and improve our sidewalks for everyone, ensuring that no one in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller ever has to go out into the street just to get from point A to point B.
• Make it easy to get around without a car for every trip — so going car-light is a real, convenient choice, not a sacrifice.
• Make our transit system the best it can be — James supports the Connect Bay Area transit ballot measure that will help to fund bus & train service improvements in Mountain View. A good transit system works in tandem with bicycle & pedestrian infrastructure to deliver the best transportation system possible for our city.
