Editor,

I also recently read Henry Riggs’s letter regarding the North Central bike lanes and agree with his comments and observations on the empty bike lanes.

The City of San Mateo City Council and Planning Commission do not care what the people in that/their neighborhood want/wish.

This is equivalent to the recent Sam Trans Reimage fiasco where they started in 2019 asking various neighborhoods on the Peninsula to "tell us what you want". Then this past August 7th/8th they implemented changes where by ENTIRE neighborhoods off of Ralston in Belmont and also 99% of Redwood Shores no longer have bus service.

The powers to be who control that entity are pathological liars, some whose names you all know very well, and are running for a political spot in the County. The neighborhood ATTENDED meetings on San Carlos Ave for three years and specified what they wanted and needed.

Did not matter, they made the cuts anyway. Sound familiar? The bike lanes destroyed limited and minimum family parking in North Central but the people running the city, again, whose names you all KNOW - do not care.

Just like the Wing Fat neighborhood fiasco east of the RR tracks. "We are kicking you all out” so we can build tall buildings with unattainable rent which will be empty for 40 years.
