Portsmouth City Council to vote on change to Middle Street bike lane

PORTSMOUTH — The City Council is slated to vote Monday on a motion to change a portion of the Middle Street bike lane by returning parked cars to the curb instead of closer to passing traffic where they are now.
City Councilors Esther Kennedy and Petra Huda want to change about 1,600 feet of the protected portion of the bike lane from the intersection of Middle and Highland streets to the intersection of Middle and Lincoln Avenue.
They also want to designate Lincoln Avenue as a “Safe Route to Schools bike route.”
If the motion passes, Huda said recently, the bike lane – which runs along Middle Street from Portsmouth High School to downtown – will still exist but will “look like every other bike lane in the city.”
