Remember the slogan I was ranting about a few days back "Complete the
Street", well here is a chance for us to tell PENNDOT to do just that. We
need to make sure that any modification to US 202 accommodates bicycles
"along and across" the length of the entire project. On Tuesday PENNDOT will
post the Draft Environment Impact Statement for public comment on the US 202
website http://www.us202.com
As usual PENNDOT will make the commentary process as difficult as possible
by requiring comments in writing. (do these guys do rebates?) The good news
is that we have a history of success on this road; the Bicycle Coalition
successfully lobbied for bike lanes on US 202 north of Norristown and for a
9 mile multi-use path between Montgomeryville and Doylestown.
Suggestions to PENNDOT
In your comments you should urge PENNDOT to include bike lanes, bicycle
friendly intersections and to reduce the numerous commercial driveways, if
you speak bureacratise you can sum it up by saying "complete the road with
context sensitive solutions" Forward thinking planners and engineers love
that "context sensitive" phrase.
