The San Mateo County Transportation Authority is awarding $26.8 million in grants for a variety of pedestrian, bicycle and congestion relief projects. Â
This funding includes $24.6 million from Measure A and Measure W Pedestrian and Bicycle Program Funds and $2.2 million from the Alternative Congestion Relief/Transportation Demand Management Program.Â
Some of the projects being funded by the adoption of these resolutions include:Â
• San Bruno’s Huntington Avenue Bikeway Phase II: $2 million. Will complete the Huntington Avenue Bikeway Phase II project to fill the last gap in a network connecting San Bruno to South San Francisco along the Centennial Trail, while creating connectivity for Caltrain and BART users.Â
• Redwood City’s Vera Avenue Bicycle Boulevard Project: $1.3 million. Initially implemented as a trial using C/CAG Transportation Development Act Article 3 grant funds, this project will now be permanently established. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Program funding will support design improvements such as neighborhood traffic circles, enhanced bike crossings, and upgraded signage to create a safer, more user-friendly bicycle boulevard.Â
• Half Moon Bay’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Small-Scale Projects: $200,000. Will fund multiple small-scale improvements in Half Moon Bay, including high-visibility crosswalks, upgraded bike lanes at conflict points, and additional bike parking installations. These enhancements aim to encourage walking and cycling as viable transportation options.

One could call the ultra-left Democrats an ethnicity. Perhaps they can request statehood, totally consistent with UN guidelines.

Redwood City council members (Alicia Aguirre, Jeff Gee, Chris Sturken, ...) are literally stealing money from the SMCTA bicycle funds here.
By claiming Vera Avenue "Traffic Calming" (traffic circles and speed humps) would somehow benefit people on bicycles, they are misappropriating $1.3M from Active Transportation funding for a car-centric project.
To make this easy:
- If there are no bike lanes, it's not a bicycle project.
- If there are no bus lanes or bus shelters, it's not a public transit project.
Vera Avenue has not one feature benefitting bicycles, not one. Even worse, Vera Ave "Bike Boulevard" has several features making riding a bicycle worse here.
Also interesting:
- The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) does not approve of this "bike boulevard" without bike facilities.
- The Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition (SVBC) endorsed this project.
So the "bicycle advocates" endorse something the city transportation officials say "this is fake". This becomes clearer once people understand SVBC is just a YIMBY group with apparently no bicycle advocates on their board. SVBC is what is called a Astroturfing group. GM and others are paying for the salaried executive team.
This is how San Mateo Democrats and astroturfing groups like YIMBY and SVBC have constantly re-routed money from Public and Active Transportation projects to their own pork barrel projects. This is all about corruption and dysfunction and has nothing to do with good policies.
