Description
Debris and gravel on the shoulder is forcing bicyclists to use the driving lane on the downhill section of Bear Creek Road heading towards Orinda. For bicycle safety it would be great if someone could run a street sweeper on that section going downhill (the west side of the road.) This road gets heavy use on weekends from bicyclists.

The last downhill section of Bear Creek, going South, towards Orinda, between Happy Valley, and almost to the bridge before San Pablo Dam Rd., is very fast, steep, and it's covered with gravel, extremely dangerous ... It forces bicyclists who know the road to take the lane, and for cyclists who are not familiar with that particular section of the descent to be an extreme danger ... A fatality happened in that section a few years ago. It's urgent that somebody pays attention to this problem. To make things worse, on week days there is an active flow of trucks carrying gravel, sand ... and spreading it all over the road, cars are moving that debris onto the shoulder.

Garbage dumping in this area is chronic and in the past has been extreme enough to catch the attention of Dan Borenstein at the Contra Costa Times: dborenstein@bayareanewsgroup.com
