The Bicycle Coalition is happy to announce that SB 1061 has been approved by the appropriations committee and will move to debate on the senate floor. Working for the passage of this bill is the Bicycle Coalition’s current project in the long fought campaign for bicycle and pedestrian access all the way across the bay.
SB 1061 will provide the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) with express authority to allocate funds to the construction of the West Span Bicycle/Pedestrian/Maintenance Pathway. We are grateful to State Senator Lori Hancock for introducing this bill, and are very excited about the future prospect of a bay bridge that serves all users.
Stay tuned for more news as we campaign to realize the passage of this bill in the State Senate!
