| 133 Task Force Proposal |

| Balanced Mobility Concept |
Background Story:
Alternatives A-E were ranked by the city consultant for success by meeting a single criteria: the alternative that reduces car traffic delay the most wins (pg 24 of the Assessment).
Alternative F as proposed by the 133 Canyon Task Force moves the cycle-track from the highway into the wilderness park where it cannot serve residents across the highway.
Alternative F for 2030 seeks to balance all transportation modes and service the residents of Laguna Canyon Road. This plan seeks to move people not just cars.
Alternative G is the gender-segregation option. Pink-Zone is inspired by the accident statistics showing the overwhelming majority of accidents are caused by men. See UK's Sheilas' Wheels here.
