I use them daily, and am happy to see them continued to 34th, where the lane continues to a lane on Chestnut for those who are eastbound.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897248791831645170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227147.post-54287439521077787782010-07-13T19:52:44.161-04:002010-07-13T19:52:44.161-04:00Two actions that I would recommend:

There is a better chance of a response when citizens demand that facilities need attention.<br /><br />2 - Later this summer or fall work will begin on phase 2 of the bike plan which will cover the rest of the city. That will be the best time to exchange ideas to improve the bike infrastructure for University City<br /><br />FYI bike lanes exist on Market from 38th to 44th so this extending bike lanes that were somewhat isolated.John Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457483323035515510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227147.post-63673465280379228842010-07-13T19:07:53.158-04:002010-07-13T19:07:53.158-04:00Can someone please tell me how 4 blocks of isolate...Can someone please tell me how 4 blocks of isolated bike lane will help???? How about fixing the ABYSMAL and dangerous lanes on Chestnut instead? And for that matter, the northbound bike lane on 38th surrounding Market street is poorly marked, and the cars are actually diverted IN to the bike lane on the north side of the intersection. I fully support improvements to the infrastructure, but find it difficult to celebrate absurd, isolated blocks of bike lane.caduceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08445611453223434428noreply@blogger.com
