In the E. Mifflin bike boulevard discussion between the Tenney Lapham
neighborhood and Traffic Engineering, sharrows were described as being
for streets with very little auto traffic. They are intended to
encourage bikes to ride fully in the center of the lane. Auto traffic
that is present, would have to follow bikes, going at their speed.
If East Mifflin were to become a bike boulevard, then through auto
traffic would have to be be discouraged in some way.
A sharrow in the wrong place loses it's meaning. You want to limit the
use of sharrows to bike routes that have very little auto traffic. We
all know that too many motorists think they own the road and the idea of
fully sharing the road is alien to them.
The next East Mifflin bike boulevard discussion is Tuesday, Oct. 13th at
Supreme Pizza, 912 E. Johnson, 7-8:30PM
