[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this has been mentioned but part of University Blvd in MoCo now has full dedicated bike lanes- so instead of 3 car lanes on each side its 2 each.  Be interested to see how this works- [b]were people really clamoring to bike on this road?[/b][/quote]

Yes. Without those bike lanes, your choices are to bike on the narrow sidewalk or to make a big detour. With those bike lanes, you can now comfortably take the most direct route (for about a mile...) [b]Haven't you noticed people biking on the sidewalk?[/b] The bike lanes will also make the sidewalk more comfortable for people who are walking or waiting for the bus.[/quote]

Rarely, although I don't drive up there as much these days.  [b]Are they going to the Wheaton metro station?[/b]  It's just a strange time to implement if it depends on a certain volume of cyclists.[/quote]

Among other destinations, yes.

The state got a grant from the federal government to do it as a pilot study. It doesn't depend on a certain volume of bicyclists, though.[/quote]
