Exhibit D <br />BART Concept Plan – Site Re-use Options <br />Public Comments <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Provided to Planning Commission for the October 22, 2025, meeting – AFTER PACKET PUBLICATION <br />Provided to City Council for the November 18, 2025, meeting Page 7 <br /> <br />From: Phil Bowman <br />Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2025 8:59 AM <br />Subject: Planning Commission Comments for 10/22 Meeting <br /> <br />Can you please distribute this message to members of the Planning Commission regarding Item 8 on <br />tonight’s agenda: BART Concept Plan Update: <br /> <br />In Section 2b regarding Bicycle Circulation Alternatives (page 91 in the Agenda Packet), I would like to <br />voice my support for option B-2. This is really the only reasonable option that provides adequate safety <br />for bike riders. Alternative B-1 exposes bike riders on Owens Drive to 4 extra unnecessary car crossings, <br />each are risks for accidents when distracted driver/commuters cross over active bike lanes. <br />Alternative B-2 minimizes the car crossing risks. <br /> <br />I also believe the separated bike lanes offered by B-2 demonstrate a strong recognition of the value of <br />bike commuting by offering safe and appealing lanes for bicyclists. By attracting more people to ride <br />bikes instead of driving cars for their commutes we will lower traffic congestion, reduce air pollution and <br />make progress to achieving our Climate Action Plan (CAP) 2.0 goals. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Phil Bowman <br />Bike, Bed & Trails Committee <br />Energy & Environment Commission <br />email@gmail.com <br />408-XXX-XXXX <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 327 of 399
