I'll admit I'm one of those motorist who gets frustrated when following them, especially during rush hour. I find it interesting that cyclist want motorist to share the road but few of them obey traffic laws or yield any space. And most are using the roads for recreaion and exercise rather than for transportaion. Safer streets may encourage more bike comuters and would help with traffic flow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159146050118998632.post-29359161138147512782011-07-13T13:31:16.563-07:002011-07-13T13:31:16.563-07:00SureSureFrom Our June 7th Meeting...noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159146050118998632.post-27813120018623587562011-07-13T13:31:00.525-07:002011-07-13T13:31:00.525-07:00Of courseOf courseFrom Our June 7th Meeting...noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159146050118998632.post-30528913222914874992011-07-13T13:30:41.047-07:002011-07-13T13:30:41.047-07:00Bicycle & pedestrian lanes are important, but ...Bicycle & pedestrian lanes are important, but can be developed over time.From Our June 7th Meeting...noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159146050118998632.post-45549252680770994522011-07-13T13:30:21.898-07:002011-07-13T13:30:21.898-07:00Yes - safe biking, pedestrian, and transit options...Yes - safe biking, pedestrian, and transit options should be routinely required.

Our current motor-vehicle-centric design discriminates against children, older adults, the disabled, and residents who can't afford cars. With the older segment of the population rapidly increasing, the discrimination will be even greater.Judi Wallacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159146050118998632.post-3291126843762016822011-06-24T09:48:00.619-07:002011-06-24T09:48:00.619-07:00Absolutely - I agree with these solutions and appr...Absolutely - I agree with these solutions and approve the use of such policies.Lee L.

The key to the success of attaining this goal is to develop with choices.<br /><br />As a bicyclist, if i am riding on a road where that is pedestrian friendly, then usually i feel safe. I don't require a dedicated lane.<br /><br />And transit is key! I lived in Sherwood Forest and made the decision to move because I the last scheduled bus to return to my neighborhood was at 3:30 pm and the stop was 1 1/2 miles from my house. Obviously not a workable solution.<br /><br />Rail line up and down Stratford Rd has enormous possibilities for connecting other centers. True, the NC Railroad Assoc & CSX would have to be dealt with, but besides running a streetcar or trolley from Hanes Mall Blvd to 1st/Country Club or even to Northwest Blvd/Reynolda, developing bicycle and pedestrian routes would have a significant impact<br /><br />The Creative Corridors Coalition, in exploring options for Bus 40 has an opportunity to elevate the discussion in terms of connectivity with bridges - not to mention the enormous opportunity to knit east/west Winston.Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00121441633402624950noreply@blogger.com
