FlorineD: 15th Street IS my community, and I bike it often, south of the freeway. The biggest problem is on the west side, where not only is there no bike lane but the repaving doesn't extend all the way to the curb. Trying to hug the edge of the street means trying to avoid the sizeable raised edge of the patchwork…that's more dangerous than traffic, so I just grit my teeth, set my red light to flashing, and thank goodness that (so far) the cars coming up behind me go into the northbound lane to avoid me.

MikeK: Florine; please come out and add your voice to the public workshops and comments as they get scheduled (none are yet but after Tuesday they will likely begin to be put on the calendar and communicated). I thought of you Monday in our Public Works committee, knowing you're a bicyclist and live on 15th there, wondering what it would mean to you.
