We've waited a long time for this. Thanks, Portola Valley. Now would you please correct the striping for the right-turn-only lane at Willowbrook and Portola Road?

If it is true that adding bike lanes to Alpine Road in Portola Valley is practically impossible, why has the city not at least added bike route signs and markings especially at intersection?

These are the spots where accidents involving cyclists and motorists most often occur.

Commendable considering how optional this project really is and how distracted we all are by the danger of the 280 interchange down the road on Alpine.

That's the real "pinch point" between motorists and cyclists!
