The planned cycle track along Lakeshore Avenue, aimed to enhance cyclist safety following the tragic death of 4-year-old Maia Correia, faces indefinite postponement due to Oakland's budget issues.
Josh Rowan highlighted that while existing projects are funded, new initiatives like the Lakeshore Avenue cycle track won't start in FY25 due to the need to defer Measure U bond sales.
The postponement is particularly difficult for the family of Maia Correia, whose tragic accident underscored the need for safe infrastructure, highlighting the emotional impact on the community.
Only 21 of the anticipated 80 project miles will be completed in 2025, indicating major setbacks for road safety initiatives amidst ongoing financial constraints in the city.
