“As far back as I can remember, the Strip has operated the way it is now. 1 lane will make me reconsider ever going down there to do my shopping. If a bike lane is necessary, I suggest making the bike lane on Smallman Street where the road is already wider than Penn Ave. That would allow for more automotive movement as well as giving room to every other vehicle to service where they need to. Penn Ave wouldn't be restricted, emergency vehicles could proceed when needed, & a steady flow of traffic could proceed, as has occurred since the beginning of time. I would hate to see bad planning on your part kill such a unique Pittsburgh tradition for everyone who lives, works & visits here. This is part of our uniqueness, history & tradition, & We Love it the way it is!”
