The City of Mount Rainier is working on a Mixed-Use Town Center Development Plan<\/a> to promote reinvestment and redevelopment opportunities in the older commercial core of Mount Rainer. The area being studied includes 11.5 acres around the Rhode Island Avenue and 34th Street<\/a> areas, and one thing they want to do is make the area more bicycle-friendly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nAfter months of community meetings and studies, Washington, D.C.-based
\nconsultants Cunningham Quill Architects presented a preliminary “vision
\nplan” to residents on Jan. 12.<\/p>\n

\nThe presentation included details on decreasing street parking spaces
\nfrom 14-feet to standard 8-feet wide spaces and using the extra space
\nfor wider sidewalks and commuter bicycles lanes. <\/p>\n

Resident Dave MacMillan said he liked the integration of bike and
\npedestrian culture in the plan, but wanted some measures to discourage
\nadditional liquor stores from opening in the city.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’m not sure the two are related.<\/p>\n

The presentations don’t have a lot of specifics on bikes, but they show the Bike Station, bike lanes and artistic bike racks. They also have a lot of cool old photos of Mount Rainier during the streetcar days, if you’re into such things. I often bike through the area on Rhode Island, and it’s not too bad really, but some bike lanes would be nice. <\/p>\n
