Because of the limited room along Lake Street, and a desire to avoid building removal, reconstructed Lake (snip) will (not) have bike lanes (it doesn't now). If bicyclists do wish to use Lake Street, they will be allowed to so (in the same manner they do today).
David Piehl writes: Thanks for the clarification Jim - as I understand from your post: essentially, bike access does not exist today on Lake, and will not be incorporated into the new design (expected to be good for 40 years) either. My question for project organizers and list members: Is this a done deal? I certainly recognize the space limitations, but firmly believe that a plan that will allegedly serve the area for the next 40 years really needs to include some form of non-automobile transportation. Have bike lanes been rejected out of hand? If so, by whom? Is there a possibility of putting them into the plan? Are alternative transport concepts from other cities and countries being considered, or do we always have to be 20 years behind the curve in Minnesota?
