MCDOT restriped Spring Street with the intention of slowing cars down on a street that carries less traffic than it was built for. They definitely could've used that extra space for bike lanes.Dan Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594208011755406956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-74463676938994334512012-12-15T07:24:37.499-05:002012-12-15T07:24:37.499-05:00You mentioned that the county and state may be rel...You mentioned that the county and state may be reluctant to take away lanes on Georgia Avenue and Colesville Road for use as bike lanes. They already took away lanes on Georgia and Colesville for parking. Why not remove the parking meters and use the curb lanes for bike lanes instead of parking?<br /><br />Also, the county painted ridiculous and dangerous lane markings on Spring Street between Georgia and Second Avenue which are designed to widen the median and force car traffic right next to parked cars -- an invitation for disaster if somebody opens the door of a parked car. Why not repaint the stripes to add bike lanes along the curbs and move the parking out a few feet and still have adequate space for a travel lane by the median?Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00180733496678026590noreply@blogger.com
