Frustration grows as Sunnyvale’s bike safety plan stalls over funding for debris cleanup

Sunnyvale residents have been waiting for the city to implement its grand plan for a bicycle safety network, but a lack of action has led to mounting frustration.

The city’s plan to build more bike lanes with protective barriers remains stalled, because officials haven’t prioritized funding or a way to keep the bike lanes clear of debris. Advocates said the City Council might finally consider prioritizing funds in this year’s budget for a specialized street sweeper and more maintenance staff.
