Borregas Bike Bridges Scheduled for 2009


With the prices of gas heading sky high, north Sunnyvale tech workers are looking for less expensive ways to get to their jobs. Mathilda Avenue is pretty dangerous for bicyclists, especially now with all the construction going on downtown. About $8,4 million dollars (from a combination of state grants and traffic mitigation fees charged to developers) is being spent on two bridges, over Highways 101 and 237. Builders of these bicycle/pedestrian bridges anticipate a Spring 2009 opening, and they should provide a valuable alternative for workers in industry-heavy Moffett Park area who are coming from Central Sunnyvale and points south.
