bicycles from using Lake Street or require them to use

Thanks for the info Phyllis, I too wondered if such
legal authority actually existed or was simply
presumed to exist.  It's amazing to me that the
project coordinators, the Smith Parker Law Firm
(www.smithparker.com), and Jim Grube of Hennepin
County didn't take this into consideration.

I'd say it's pretty clear based on community sentiment
and the fact that the bicyclists WILL be on Lake
Street that the planners need to accomodate this
reality in the re-design process.  Any plan that does
not accomodate bicycles must be rejected.
