Dear Transportation Commission,
 
Please do not replace travel lanes with bike lanes on Bel-Red Road or Northup Way – and remove these major arterial corridors from consideration for bike lanes as we have a great alternative in Spring Blvd. With the growth that is being planned in Wilburton and Bel-Red, we need to preserve these important roads to accommodate growth in traffic and keep our communities moving. Please focus on completing the multi-purpose path on Spring Boulevard, which is safer and would comply with the city’s Vision Zero goals, while bike lanes on major arterials like Bel-Red Road and Northup, which have high levels of traffic and many driveways, would increase the likelihood of collisions.
 
Further, instead of removing travel lanes on 140th Avenue, or moving this project to the Transportation Facilities Plan as staff recommend, please refresh existing sharrow markings in the short-term and consider using existing right-of-way at Highland Park to create a multi-purpose path without reducing vehicle capacity in the long term. There is plenty of right-of-way to create safe bike lanes without removing travel lanes and making traffic worse than it already is along these major corridors.
 
As we look to shape the future of our city, please save the streets we depend on for mobility and expand the bike network at the same time by making reasonable and careful decisions about where we place bike planes.
