Minute Order 08-166 Acting Community Development Director Chang, gave an overview of the project, covering pedestrian and bike friendliness in heavily negotiated spaces. He also provided details on the restriping project and bike safety issues. He discussed lane width and the benefits of the micro-surfacing techniques to be used. Public Comment Pat Dixon spoke against the bicycle lanes between Shell and Bridge, since it is the narrowest of the parkways and the main traffic entrance. She opined this parkway area is not safe for bike traffic which must compete with buses and car traffic. Martha Johnson spoke to the multipurpose paths not being the best route for bikes. She also expressed concerns with the danger from vehicular traffic in the area. She opined a white separation line would be helpful. She also supported lessening the speed with narrower lanes. Mayor Foust read a letter from Dick Nelson who felt continuous and well-marked bike paths along the parkway were needed. The Mayor also reiterated what the slurry restriping plan entailed as far as actual paths and shoulders, and what was and what was not designated as an actual bike path.
