Alhambra Avenue bike lane removal and safety
Summary
The city quietly replaced a bike lane near Alhambra High with sharrows, and a packed chamber of families and cyclists demanded it be restored. Council members unanimously signaled support for restoring bike lanes, possibly by removing ~40 parking spaces, but deferred action to November 18 rather than spend $75,000 on a study tonight.
