Pedestrian Safety
🤝
Cyclist Safety
Measures to improve pedestrian safety often improve cyclist safety. In Union City, everyone is a pedestrian at least some of the time.
High Impact
Protected Bike Lanes
No sharrows. No door-zone bike lanes. Focus on bike lanes that are truly protected by physical barriers in the areas that will have the biggest impact.
Crossing 495
14th Street between Morris and West
Bike Parking
Bike racks at schools, restaurants and other businesses. Fewer places where a tree is the best option.
Car Parking
Oversubscribed street parking and a lack of residential loading zones lead to a lot of double parking and parking in crosswalks. Short stops for pickups and deliveries block cars, bikes and pedestrians.
