In 2023, the city reduced the street from three lanes to two and installed protected two-way bike lanes with a state grant intended to improve bike safety. The project cost almost half a million dollars.

Counts of bicycle traffic since the bike lanes were installed showed that traffic increased sixfold. Engineers also didn’t find any major congestion issues with automobiles after the revamp.

The city’s aggressive changes will cost it $1 million, including returning the grant to the state.

charge interest too. directly to all the cagers for their little petroleum chariot permits and downtown parking places.

Turning the bike lane dial and looking at the audience to see their reaction.

I do certainly think that adding a bike lane to existing roads almost always leads at least one headache inducing intersection, but if more people are biking then its effective and should stay. Fix the damn intersections!
