Sunnyvale residents are frustrated with the delay in implementing the city's bicycle safety network, which includes building protected bike lanes. This delay is compounded by a lack of prioritization in funding for maintenance, particularly the need for a specialized street sweeper. The city is weighing two options: purchase a compact street sweeper or employ additional workers to manage debris manually. Despite having an Active Transportation Plan proposing extensive bike lanes, only a mile has been finished due to these funding and maintenance constraints.
"It's right there in the (Active Transportation Plan), the city can't do what the city has declared it wants to do because of this restriction."
"Although buying the compact street sweeper would be more expensive, it's more efficient and requires less manpower than maintaining the bike lanes using leaf blowers."
