Chinese interpretation services available.

Wednesday, May 23rd 2012

What will happen to this street? The City is recommending the following:
  • remove the bike between eastbound Vine Street and Filbert Street
  • Replace with shared lane markings in left travel lane
  • Update and refresh bicycle lane markings between Ride Ave and westbound Vine Street, and south of Market Street to Lombard Street 
We encourage everyone to attend these meetings to hear the City's presentation of its data and share your comments and feedback.

I'll be there to let MOTU know that I suport creating a network of bike lanes and that I think gaps in the N-S backbone of the system is short-sighted.

This is a real bummer. I work at 9th + Spring Garden and routinely use this lane and the 13th Street lane to go to and from meetings in Center City. I can't imagine things will be better when I have to officially share the left lane with cars -- it's already dicey as it is going through Chinatown.
