Accordingly, the 1995/96 funding request is a joint application to construct sidewalks and bike lanes along this segment. The General Plan for both cities has identified future Dand uses for the undeveloped i which will generate traffic volumes that will impact Olivenhain Road. The El Camino corridor is the major commercial center which accommodates the needs of citizens i area. Future traffic volumes and the potential for vehicular/pedestrian conflicts justifie need for safe bicycle and pedestrian improvements along this corridor.
