Berkeley’s City Council is poised to transform Hopkins Street into a bike- and pedestrian-friendly corridor by removing hundreds of parking spots and installing protected bike lanes — a move long debated and now set for a pivotal vote. Supporters champion a shift away from car-centric design, envisioning a safer, more balanced urban space. Critics, however, warn of lost parking, economic disruption, and question the city’s priorities, calling it a costly misstep. The decision will define the future of this iconic street — a battleground for urban progress versus practicality.
