Do you agree with the city’s proposal to change Fremont St from four lanes to three, one being a turnlane, to include a bike lane on each side of the roadway?

More cities are incorporating bike lanes on their roadways as more citizens are becoming health conscious and exercising, and in today’s economy many can’t afford a vehicle with all the accompanying expenses.  With the road resurfacing scheduled for this summer, it’s a good time to make the change.  Is it better to have the bike lanes on Sanborn or Fremont?  I’m thinking the lanes should be extended down past Silas Willard school and up to the High School to emphasize the school zones and lower speed limits, and to make a safer crossing area on Henderson Street for cyclists and pedestrians.  There should be plenty of signage; and reflectors required on front, back and bicycle tire-walls.  Any pedestrians, walking on or near streets after dark, should be wearing light or reflective clothing; if they’re not, this presents a hazard to themselves and for drivers who aren’t able to see them well.  This has been an ongoing problem since the city and its residents have stopped maintaining decent sidewalks.  And the schools should go over the bicycle safety rules with their students before summer vacation.
