“It’s an absolute race area here. Cars are zooming by really fast, and carelessly,” said Joann Miller, a resident.
FREMONT — A controversial proposal to remove two lanes of traffic from a heavily used four-lane road in Fremont will be considered by the City Council on Tuesday, a little more than six months after the council rejected a similar plan.
“It’s an absolute race area here. Cars are zooming by really fast, and carelessly,” said Joann Miller, who has lived on Paseo Padre for five decades. The council majority, which has supported many other road redesigns previously, balked at the idea, and instead voted to have the traffic lanes on that portion of Paseo slightly narrowed to make room for what city staff called a “basic” 4-foot-wide bike lane.
Parker said the city should leave things the way they are now until officials have a longer time to evaluate the effect of the current setup on safety. The public works proposal also recommended adding a new traffic signal at Paseo’s intersection with Covington Drive, along a sloping curve where Miller said she’s seen multiple cars crash into people’s yards.
