“The existing bike lanes on Smallman Street appear to be under utilized so it is not clear why Penn Avenue needs this. This is also creating animosity between a biking community and a non-biking community, In addition to threatening the vibrant activity and commerce in the strip district. It is already difficult to drive down Penn Ave., find parking, ensure the safety of pedestrians, etc. Limiting traffic to one lane will only harm the rest of the strip district and increase bottlenecks on every other street. Valuable infrastructure in this part of town should include parking, not biking.”
