The only problems with the bike boulevards has been that the business community doesn’t like them and the Council refuses to implement them. Major development is happening on EVERY north /south street in Emeryville. If bicycling is to be accommodated, at least one street on either side of the rail road tracks has to be selected. That means conflict with those who want to maximize the streets for vehicles. Conflict is normal. We have to decide if we want to accommodate bikes or not. And then stick with our decision. We need more guys that advocate for bicycling rather than constantly working to accommodate business/developer interests.

That they were being assigned to streets where major development was pending....and that traffic volumes would soon make them less safe than retaining the then-existing bike lanes? We need more people like that guy, rather than wasting time on worthless trendy schemes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
