[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if you eliminated the turn lane from Reno (which would be an insane nightmare for traffic), the road is still too narrow to make a safe bike lane. People’s huge SUVs already half use that turn lane. Any bike lane there would need to be seriously barricaded from traffic for it to be remotely usable and that ain’t gonna happen.

I don’t understand why everyone’s panties are in a wad about Conn Ave anyway. Everyone pretends like it’s a 6 lane road when in fact the 2 outer lanes are always parking or delivery trucks or someone idling. There is no great loss of parking along the red line there. If you want to be upset about something, get upset that metro doesn’t have dedicated funding that would completely fix this problem. [/quote]

Reno is far more of a local road than Connecticut will ever be. There really shouldn't be much thru-traffic on Reno, and there only is because of back ups on Connecticut/Wisconsin. Its ok to slow up the people using Waze and such, and herd them back onto the other routes. [/quote]
