Eastbound Connector

From "Eastbound Connector Bike Route: Phase 1"

Go to the project

I am very concerned about having the bike lane next to the curb. Cars already need to pull out very far to see at cross streets. Also, when getting out of the car on Walnut, it is dangerous to open the door into traffic. Also, Walnut is an emergency route so it has snow removal from curb to curb. Lemon does not have this so it will be a problem when it snows. I am on the 600 block of West Lemon and according to the plan, we will lose 3 spots. We often have students from F&M park on our block as we are not permit parking, so losing spots is a problem. We will lose the most out of the entire street. I feel like it doesn’t matter what we say. You just want the grant money and don’t really care what we think. If Lemon has a bike lane it should be between traffic and the parked cars.

I believe the bike lanes are ridiculous. The way they have been designed is dangerous. I’m not a believer of “ if you put it in they will come”- so not true. Biking is a mindset, and the majority of Lancastrians don’t have that mindset. Besides that, the city has not been laid out to make it bike friendly, and I can’t see too many people grocery shopping for a family on a bike. Biking is primarily an option and a choice, not necessary. If a majority of the population wanted this, there would be a lot more comments. I don’t understand why all the taxpayers are paying for this (redoing streets, painting lines, maintenance etc) when there is no extra income from the bicyclists who are purported to think it’s necessary.
