I live near Fair Oaks & Tasman, so I cross Mathilda at Moffett Park, then take the bike bridge over to Persian to get home, or of course the reverse to get to work. But even just crossing Mathilda is tough because of all of the cars in the intersection when they shouldn't be. You simply can not synchronize that many lights and that much traffic. Or at least the city of Sunnyvale and Caltrans can't.
