“This proposal directly affects the small, long term business owners of the STRIP DISTRICT.
As a service industry employee, who's industry is already greatly.impacted by the both "Shiny and New" Terminal, filled mainly by large corporate businesses and developed by a firm from Chicago, this will surely put local businesses in another proverbial stranglehold.
If this bike lane is so important, then consider putting it on Smallman Street, where 2 lane traffic already exists with room to pass.
This is a personal attack on the STRIP LOCAL.
Don't let this bike lane be the reason Pittsburgh will lose what remaining charm it has left.”
