The Solano Transportation Authority, partnering with Caltrans and the City of Vallejo, is advancing the Bay Area's first diverging diamond interchange to alleviate traffic and enhance safety.
Critics like Livermore Councilperson-elect Steven Dunbar argue that the diverging diamond design compromises cyclist safety, highlighting reductions in bike lane width that contradict safety guidelines.
With increased traffic speeds and a detrimental reduction in bike lane space, advocates express concern that the project will endanger cyclists rather than protect them.
Ultimately, the project aims to improve access for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists while addressing congestion. Yet, safety concerns for cyclists raise questions about this endeavor.
