Caltrain Seeks Comment About Bike Master Plan

Nearly 2,400 customers bring their bikes onboard Caltrain each weekday. However, sometimes Caltrain runs out of space to accommodate all of the bicycle demand.

In an effort to address this issue, Caltrain is developing a Bicycle Master Plan that focuses on ways to improve bike parking at its 10 most-popular stations. Over the last year, staff has conducted extensive surveys of existing bike parking facilities and solicited input from bicycle advisory groups and Caltrain bike riders.

Now, Caltrain will hold three meetings to hear comments about its key findings and recommendations. The meetings will be held:

• Thursday, June 12 at 6 p.m.
  San Carlos Public Library, 2nd floor, meeting room A
  610 Elm St., San Carlos
  
  
• Monday, June 16 at 6 p.m.
  Mountain View City Hall, Plaza Conference Room
  500 Castro St., Mountain View
  
  
• Tuesday, June 17 at 6 p.m.
  Genentech Hall, Room S201
  University of California, San Francisco
  600 16th St., San Francisco
