Transportation[edit]
During his time as mayor, John Bauters lobbied to improve Emeryville's transportation infrastructure in October 2023. In particular, he lobbied for funds to improve biking, walking, and bussing conditions in Emeryville as part of the 40th Street Multimodal Project. The project would add two-way bike lanes, bus-only lanes, and improved pedestrian features to the area. Business owners in the area pushed back against the project, worried that replacing street parking with bike lanes and closing intersections without traffic signals to cars would hurt business. City council ultimately approved the project 4-1.
