The counter-flow in 100 Block of East Mifflin is part of the E Mifflin Bike Blvd project that was initiated by City Traffic. Both the Bike Blvd and the the counter-flow are recommended in the Platinum Bike Report (April 2008).
The bike lanes on the outer-loop are something I asked if it could be done on the reconstruction, since the Square and the 100 block of State are often shut down for special events. Engineer Chris Petykowski was receptive. I was on the BPW when I asked the question and since leaving the Board, I am pleased Chris followed thru. A major challenge remains on providing accommodations for biking on W/E Doty Street and the S Webster Street where there are peak hour parking restrictions. Does anyone have thoughts on how the city can reconstruct those blocks of the outer loop for biking?
