[quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]Among other destinations, yes.[/b]

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]

The library?  I'm just trying to understand what these cyclists going to other destinations do when they get to Amherst Ave. and the bike lane ends.  The stretch of road beyond that is even crummier for cycling, so congested and narrow lanes.[/quote]
