The good news is we are getting bicycle accommodations for most of the project area. But for the section of Harford Rd between Erdman and Chesterfield the community was given options:<\/p>\n
Option 1 – Oppose
\nTitle: Median and narrow travel lanes
\nA nice median (traffic calming??? and being space for green plants and trees) and 4 10 foot travel lanes (2 each way,) with off-peek parking allowed in the outside lanes putting cyclists in the reaming narrow travel lane. Ugh! <\/p>\n
Option 2 – Support
\nTitle: No median and wide outside lanes
\nNo median, inner travel lanes 10 feet and outer travel lanes 13.5 feet. This at least gives cyclists some extra width in the outside lane both when there is traffic and when there is parking.<\/p>\n
Option 3 – Support
\nTitle: Median, two travel lanes and bike lanes
\nThis option came up during the meeting and I am not sure how viable it is but none the less cool. Remove two travels lanes and on-street parking to accommodate both a median and bike lanes. This will make this section of Harford Rd a two lane road rather then a four lane Rd have a calming effect on traffic.<\/p>\n
Please send your support for the option of your choice and voice opposition to option 1.
