City council to have the final say on whether cycling lanes will be made permanent over objection of some residents.
The youngest deputant on Monday, Aubree, told councillors, that right now she is young enough to ride on the sidewalk but soon, she’ll be getting a bigger bike.
The bike lanes began as a temporary measure in 2020 and were formalized in July 2021 as part of a “complete street” pilot. The city found an increase in both cycling and pedestrian trips due to the bike lanes and about a minute longer in traffic for cars compared to 2019, after adjustments to the pilot to help traffic move better.
Samantha Kives has more than two dozen videos of these traffic jams, some taken as she tries to drop and pick up her kids from school, some as she walks along the street on a summer day. She was among several people who said they are not opposed to bike lanes but that this is the wrong location.
