I like the idea of one lane in each direction with a very wide shoulders on

I think that Cathedral Oaks Road should be changed from a four lane road (two in each direction) to a two lane road. The unused lanes could be used for a nice, wide, safe bike paths similar to the ones on Shoreline Road.
Cathedral Oaks is two lanes east of Patterson and it does not seem to cause any traffic congestion. There have been a large number of accidents along Cathedral Oaks west of Patterson. Reducing the lanes to two, could serve to slow traffic down and hopefully reduce the number of accidents.
What do people think about this idea?
