Mike Thanks for posting this. Item 3 below is one I've privately been dreaming of for a long time. There are very few direct North-South routes in this area. Midvale connects two critical East-West routes, the Blackhawk path and the Southwest path, as well as the Whenona Way bridge over the beltline. Removing on-street parking would be an inconvenience for the residences along Midvale. Many of the homes are rather modest, and they don't have space for a larger driveway. I know, they shouldn't have those extra cars, blah blah blah, but there is no point in making that argument with someone who isn't 'enlightened' to the car-free Way. In truth, the number of cars parked on the street is not very many. I know because I bike this route several times a week. If the City could compensate the home-owners in some way, I think this would be a great idea. Expanded bus routes along this road should be part of the deal. >From: "Timothy Gruber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >BIKE ... >3.
