[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve noticed the bike lane on Old Georgetown Road is rarely used, especially during rush hour, while it’s causing dreadful congestion for drivers. I understand the importance of safe cycling infrastructure, but I wonder if we can find a better balance to serve all commuters.  It seems the dream of transitioning to a carbon free transportation infrastructure is not longer in the cards.

Could we discuss potential solutions, like redesigning a bike path off the road to maintain bike safety while easing traffic flow? I’d love to hear your thoughts and work together to propose actionable ideas to the County and State governments.  Also, the bike lanes have not been properly maintained, nor the road median.  It is just a big mess that needs to be cleaned up.

Your post is too long given what time it is. Have you noticed that near Edson and also Nicholson, heading from the direction of Tuckerman cars that need to make a right turn are driving up the bike lane to turn rather than waiting for traffic to clear the area. At first o thought it unsafe. And since no bikes are using it I follow and do the same sometimes. I’m never the leader of the pack.  Yes I know I could get a ticket.  And…. And the lanes are ridiculous.  [/quote]
