O’Keefe said she does not support the bike lane proposal the City Council approved for the corridor in 2022, which called for building a protected two-way bicycle path along the street. She wants Berkeley to study other ways to improve safety on Hopkins instead. “I do not believe we should take out any parking in that area,” O’Keefe said. “I definitely don’t want to see a cycle track anywhere on Hopkins, and I’m not really in support of cycle tracks anywhere in the city.” Berkeley transportation staff have built a handful of protected cycle tracks in recent years, and bike advocacy groups say they can help keep riders safe and make less-experienced cyclists feel more comfortable. But O’Keefe, who commutes by bicycle, says she finds they “cause as many problems as they solve” because they feel more confining. Instead, she said, Berkeley should focus on building out its existing network of Bicycle Boulevards, which use diverters and other means to reduce car traffic on certain streets. As for Hopkins, O’Keefe says the city should repave the street now, then decide what safety measures it needs.
2 panel comic. Left says "When the infrastructure is only comfortable for a small group of people... only a few will use it." The image is of a chasm between 2 cliffs with a tight rope going across. A man on a bike is teetering across with a speech bubble saying "This isn't so bad." A more diverse group of people on the left cliff standing beside their bikes are saying "Nope. Not a chance!" The panel on the right says "With infrastructure that is comfortable and safe for most people... fewer people are excluded from using it." It shows the same cliffs and chasm from the left panel but there's a wide bridge with solid-looking guard rails. The same man who was okay with biking on the tight rope is on the bridge now saying "Hmm, this isn't so bad, either" and the other people who were frightened before are biking comfortably on the bridge saying "ahh, much better."

DISTRICT 6 Brent Blackaby – Re Rescinding the vote on upper Hopkins: “I do not believe we need to rescind the May 2022 vote to do this important work.” Re Measure EE vs FF: “I prefer Measure FF.” Andy Katz – Re rescinding the vote on upper Hopkins: “I would support a resolution rescinding the approval of the conceptual design.” Re EE vs. FF: “I support Measure FF… I am also voting yes on Measure EE”
DISTRICT 5 Todd Andrew – Re Rescinding the vote on upper Hopkins: “With Hopkins Street scheduled for improvements in a couple of years, I think we need to discuss it then.” Re EE vs. FF: “I'm recommending YES on Measure FF.” Nilang Gor – We received no response from his campaign, even after sending out a reminder. Shoshana O’Keefe – Re rescinding the vote on upper Hopkins: YES I would support a measure to rescind the May 10 vote, and I would actually like to be the one to submit the measure and advocate for it on Council. Re EE vs. FF: I am supporting EE and not FF.
DISTRICT 3 There are three candidates for this council seat: Ben Bartlett, Deborah Matthews, and Chip Moore. None of them responded to our inquiries, even after being reminded of the deadline.
DISTRICT 2 Jenny Guarino – Re rescinding the vote on upper Hopkins: I am troubled by lack of transparency and accountability with senior City Management, an issue that goes far beyond public works issues, but I don’t think rescinding the vote is the best way to address it. Re EE vs. FF: I am supporting Measure FF. Terry Taplin – Re Rescinding the vote on upper Hopkins: A vote to rescind a prior vote seems procedurally misplaced. Re EE vs. FF: CM Taplin did not respond to this question, but he is on record as having endorsed Measure FF.
