Lacey and College Street   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #70 of 169 |
I was told recently that Lacey will be redoing College Street from
Martin to almost Yelm HWY. Apparently the plan calls for bike lanes
that are only 36 inches wide. I'm no expert but with rain drains at 12
to 18" doesn't that only leave about 18 to 24 inches which is less
than the with of allot of handlebars on a bike. Seems to me with cars
always assuming you will stay in that lane no mater what grate, stick,
rock, roadkill, or other such gets in your way this could on THAT
street be deadly. It would almost be better to forgo the lane and let
us mingle in traffic. Anyone got ties to Lacey planning to check this out?
