Dear fellow bikers,
My Tenney Lapham neighborhood could use assistance. The council will
soon be voting on whether or not the city should hire consultants to
study turning Johnson/Gorham into two-way streets. These two streets
are incredibly dangerous for my neighborhood. Imagine teaching your
kids to bike and having nightmares they will go anywhere near these
streets, where the average car is going 10+ over the speed limit on this
narrow, residential street.
Unfortunately, there is a strong movement to kill this study. I beg
you, in the name of improving safety for all bikers in my neighborhood,
please send a message to [email protected] and ask that the
city proceed with funding this study. Please give them your address and
what side of the city you live on.
Here is why it is important:
1. Vastly improving safety on this residential street
2. Progressive cities are waking up and realizing that two-way streets
are safer, and more easy to navigate.
3. The housing along these streets would improve as families and longer
term renters move back to the street
4. Revive the ailing business district around Paterson.
Note, Gorham was reconstructed two years ago and traffic was diverted to
East Washington without the feared congestion.
Thank you for this consideration,
Kind Regards,
David Waugh
1213 East Mifflin Street
