Cupertino officials have decided to halt a safety improvement study for Bollinger Road after the City Council voted 3-1 against it. Concerns regarding costs, potential traffic impacts, and prior studies led to this decision. Councilmember R 'Ray' Wang emphasized focusing on safer neighborhood routes versus busy corridors. As a result, neighboring San Jose has also suspended its participation in the study, leaving the fate of Bollinger Road's safety uncertain despite its troubling history of two fatalities in the last decade.
Councilmember R 'Ray' Wang voted to defund the study because as a cyclist himself, he wants to prioritize safe routes in neighborhoods rather than bustling streets used by commuters.
The decision was largely made over concerns about the cost and how recommendations could affect traffic...and a desire for a more comprehensive study of all of Cupertino's major corridors.
