Deskripsyon

It looks like Elm Street is being re-paved in this section! There is a lot of bike traffic, as this is the route people traveling from downtown to Westville and Edgewood usually take. Why not paint a bike lane on the road while it's fresh?

No, no, no! I live on this section of road. It's a narrow one-way street with cars parked on both sides. Please take Edgewood! And if you already ride down this stretch of Elm, please don't go the wrong way. Drivers backing out if driveways can't see you around parked cars!

In response to the most recent post:

There are a number of ideas posted by the community and also considered by the department in terms of bicycle improvements on Elm St. Shared lane markings, bike lanes and the possibility of a cycle track design on a segement of Elm are all considerations at the moment. Follow these links to find out more information on Elm St and on other existing and proposed improvements within the city.

Anonymous User - the fact that we'd only have on choice of a bike route is ridiculous. There should be bike lanes all over the city, we don't have to make them too fancy. Here's a picture of a bike lane on a narrow street like Elm

How did you extrapolate, from the post that was just sent out, that there is only one choice for a bike route?

Bad choice of wording on my part, sorry about that.

I look forward for news on improvements in the future!

So, Elm Street was re-paved without any attention given to the city and State's Complete Streets Law, that requires accommodation of all users? That represents a serious violation of city and state policy, and I hope you have contacted all of your elected officials about this, if true.

I agree that Elm Street urgently needs a Class A bike facility (buffered bike lane or cycle track), at least until it reaches Winthrop or Norton (at that point, most cyclists ride over to Edgewood to continue riding west).

If not a bike lane, then at least sharrows can be used. I'd also like to note that by the roundabout at West Park, there are sharrows just for that segment of the route (that are placed incorrectly, I believe)
