[quote=Anonymous]I think it's interesting that people are so adamant that buses "aren't used". I definitely use the buses and my teenage kids also use the buses. I also live right off Duke Street, so I'm driving up and down this street a lot, and at anytime of day other than late at night, you can see people waiting at the bus stops, so it's definitely getting used.
I also am a bike rider, so while I currently use the bike path on Eisenhower, I would absolutely love to have a Duke Street bike lane.
I think there are two big issues with Duke Street traffic, that are not made worse by bike and bus lanes.
1. The traffic jam between Quaker Lane and Telegraph exit.
2. The lack of a middle turn lane, which leads to cars coming to a dead stop at random places while attempting to turn left from Duke Street.
Those two things are what needs to be addressed. My preference would be a solution that has dedicated bus/bike lane AND adjustments that would fix the two problems I described above.[/quote]
