add a sky bridge for bikes/peds
get what you design for - narrow the street, add protected bike lanes, cargo bike deliveries, think big
Strategic removal of parking can be useful ex. daylighting could be better than removing an entire row of parking; might need to remove a driving lane to do so and keep something like parking; issue of induced demand of having more and more lanes; also more lanes connecting two highways don't necessarily help the local community
Kent and Franklin are also desperate for loading zones.**
We have some two-way bike lanes in the district without barriers so they become parking for cars/trucks so you feel safe but then need to swerve out to go around a truck; barrier would need to be cement or something meaningful, not bollards
Protected bike lane would mean immediately more users; need real protection with concrete; every time a major thoroughfare is designed without them you still get bikers and it makes it more dangerous; didn't commute by bike until the Queens Boulevard lanes came in;
reducing travel lanes will make trucks go somewhere else - how do you facility trucks and cars with one lane**
why it is necessary for a truck route to be so wide? seems like they could still function as such but with less lanes and narrower and slower.**
too much space for cars - if we reduce travel lanes we can make it safer**
This corridor is important because if you're trying to go to/from LIC it's your only option so a protected lane is important; two-way is ideal
