Lawmakers plan to make East San Jose safer for cyclists and pedestrians

A new plan seeks to transform East San Jose into a pedestrian-friendly transit haven by reducing the need for cars and connecting residents across the city.

The En Movimiento — Spanish for “In Movement” — plan proposes an expanded network of sidewalks, bike lanes and bus lanes alongside a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) line, giving East Side residents an array of options for car-less travel.
