Fi xed Bus Rapid Transit on Stevens Creek Blvd.
Stevens Creek Blvd . is not a good location for Fixed Bus Rapid Transit.
This type of bus transportation takes away the fast lane on both sides
of Stevens Creek Blvd , and gives those lanes to the Fixed Bus Rapid Transsit.
This is not a good design for Stevens Creek Blvd . as the traffic would be
reduced to one land in each direction and all the traffic would back up .
Fixed Bus Rapid Transit has not worked well in other cities it was implemented
in. It also interferes with Cupertino's Heart of the City plan .
I think that having buses run up and down Stevens Creek Blvd . like
the Bus 23 and Bus 24 is the best way to handle traffic on Stevens Creek Blvd .·
These buses are flexible and efficent and have worked well for many years .
I am very concerned that Fixed Bus Rapid Transit would take away valuable
traffic lanes on Stevens Creek Blvd . and would endanger Heart of the
City and The City of Cupertino's street trees .
San Jose's Urban Villages rollout on Stevens Creek Blvd. is another factor that
may complicate and endanger Cupertino's Heart of the City and Cupertino's street
trees .
Thank you very much .
Sincerely,
Jennifer Griffin
