Corridor Plan Updates & Routing Within Corridors / Route 95 through the San Fransisco Bay Area
« on: May 22, 2009, 12:58:56 pm »
I'm a little surprised that the latest corridor map shows Route 95 going through Oakland instead of San Francisco, without even so much as a possible alternate route through San Fransisco. Perhaps this is just a limitation of the cartography, since a 50 mile wide swath easily encompasses a route through either San Fransisco and the Peninsula, or Oakland and the East Bay.
But given that most existing long distance bike routes through this area go through San Francisco, and given the historical and cultural interest of San Francisco and the Golden Gate bridge, and the relative bike friendliness of this city, I would think that a routing through San Fransisco would be preferable to one through Oakland.
