Open Richmond Bridge lane to traffic for commute

I was infuriated to read the article published July 7 with the headline “Change proposed for use of bicycle, pedestrian lane.” There is a plan to turn the westbound bike and pedestrian lane of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge into an emergency stopping lane for vehicles from Mondays through Thursdays by moving the barrier. On Fridays through Sundays, it would be moved back for a bike lane.

The completed multiyear study of the bike lane is over.
