Meeting history
Council debated the installation of a protected bike lane on South Atlantic Boulevard between Newmark and Harding Avenues. Council members Jose Sanchez, Thomas Wong, Vinh Ngo, and Elizabeth Yang supported a bike‑lane addition, while Council Member Henry Lo opposed it due to parking concerns. The motion to restripe the roadway to its pre‑waterline configuration and defer any bike‑lane installation was carried 4–1 (Lo voting no). Staff will restripe the street and the bike‑lane issue has been scheduled for discussion at the 2026 Strategic Plan meeting.
Council approved the 1st‑Riggin‑Potrero Grande Corridor Project, a joint city‑county effort that includes new bike lane improvements and other active transportation features. The motion was carried unanimously (4‑0) after a discussion of the project’s scope, cost ($7.73 million contract with Sequel Contractors and $303,700 for engineering services), and CEQA findings. The next steps involve finalizing the contract, beginning construction, and coordinating with neighboring jurisdictions for lane design and signage.
