Heights Bikeways Public Meeting - 11th Street Pedestrian and Bike Lane Plans
Details
Come out to help represent cyclists in the Heights community for this public meeting.
The Heights community has brought up concerns about speeding and swerving vehicles on 11th street. One proposal for helping to resolve this issue is converting the existing 4 lane street to a 3 lane street.
This kind of change has a proven track record for resolving these kinds of problems.
Here is some information from the Federal Highway Administration about 4 to 3 lane conversions:
