Councilwoman Sally Meadows acknowledged that enhancing safety on the roads may lead to a loss of the rural character of Los Altos, emphasizing that prioritizing safety, especially for children, is paramount.
Meadows highlighted the complexity around redesigning roads, referring to the chaos caused by last year's changes along Jardin Drive behind Los Altos High School, which resulted in confusion for both residents and students.
Looking forward, Meadows expressed her hesitation towards 'over-engineering' bike lanes, suggesting a cautious approach to future developments on routes like San Antonio Road and El Camino Real.
Meadows stated, "Change is always difficult. On the other side of most change, people move on and you get a community that feels different, perhaps better."
