[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who thinks eliminating the rush hour traffic pattern will cut accidents on Conn Ave hasn't driven that route lately.

Hope sense prevails and they reopen Beach Drive - [b]if there are bike lanes on Conn, why preserve an alternate route solely for bikes?[/b]

The outcome here will be more WFH (and more catastrophic impact on downtown businesses and office space) and more neighborhood cut-throughs by commuters. Enjoy! [/quote]

If there are car lanes on Connecticut, why do drivers need an alternate route through a park?[/quote]

Why do bikes need any of the roads all to themselves? You already have the trails. If the major car commuter route is now half car/half bike, the other local commuter road needs to reopen.

Honestly, this is just a terrible idea. I foresee many, many bike accidents on Conn from cars turning right.[/quote]

Why do you need to drive to work through a park?

Fortunately, there's lots of information in design guides about how to design bike lanes to protect bicyclists from drivers turning right.[/quote]
