[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Right. But the Capital Crescent Trail, RCP bike trail and the Mt. Vernon trail are basically one car lane wide. And bikes going in two directions share that lane, along with pedestrians runners, etc.So why should two lanes that currently serve to carry traffic be devoted to bike lanes? Sacrificing one should be sufficient, based on these examples, and the 'saved' lane can be devoted to rush hour traffic, streets parking that is crucial for small local businesses, etc. It seems selfish to use two whole lanes for bikes. [/quote] Actually you're making the case FOR separate northbound and southbound lanes, not against. One car lane is not wide enough for bicyclists in both directions. Somebody else has already said it, but I'll repeat it: if you want to drive, then you should support MORE bicycling, not less. It's not people on bikes who really get in your way, it's other people in cars.[/quote]
