Thank You for your efforts to improve safety and cycling infrastructure.
Please do not combine Bikes with Pedestrians for a recreational use path.
As President of Lancaster Bicycle Club, we have seen that our cyclists will not use dedicated bike lanes or shared use bike lanes as a substitute for riding in regular traffic.
The safest riding is to use the traffic lane. Please add Sharrows and signage about sharing the lanes with bikes to the Church Street plans. Promoting bikes in the traffic lanes will help to slow the traffic.
When you designate a separated lane of a mixed use trail the cars assume that is where we belong so they can go faster. It decreases the safety for all.
Thank You
