“I feel this would be a huge mistake. I have personally called 911 several times over the years for elderly pedestrians who have tripped on the sidewalk on a busy Saturday. Traffic is at a crawl on Saturdays and emergency responders have been delayed.
The other issue is so often traffic is backed up because people can’t parallel park well. Imagine trying to parallel park with a bike lane. This is dangerous to those on bikes.
I would love the mayor to spend a few hours on a busy Saturday and see how this would have a negative impact. As someone who rides a bike, I would say Smallman would be the better choice.”
