After months of public outreach, the mayor settled on a new design for Park Boulevard that removes a car lane in each direction and all but 67 parking spaces. The changes are set to take effect in December after a pipeline replacement project.
“It’s like a miracle we’re still standing,” she said.
She was a bit surprised when she learned the city was moving forward with the 30th Street bike lane project, something she hoped would be delayed because of the pandemic.
City staff presented a proposal to area businesses during a recent community meeting, according to Worm.
“The businesses would then be allowed to put the parklets back on top of the bike lanes, however, the bike lanes would be put into use, and so the business would have the responsibility, the cost and liability passed along them to restripe the bike lanes to move around the parklets and to weave in and out of oncoming traffic,” she explained.
