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.”
“This area will always produce players,” says Bright. “Ten years ago, Steve [Parish] wanted to improve the Academy, but to see it go up slowly like it’s doing and to actually go across and watch.
“I was there one evening and I was watching the pre-Academy – or U7s – training on one-half of the pitch, and on the other half was the U23s preparing for a game. So you had both ends of the spectrum.
“That’s what we expected when you build an Academy: you’ve got the kids, the youngest of the young, training with the ones just before the first-team. It was great to see.”

Ms. Bach correctly praised the students idealism and organizational skills. Mr. Brighton rightly noted that their actions did raise some larger concerns, such as the substitution of indoctrination for critical thinking in our schools.
This incident also highlighted the influence of non-taxpayers on Portsmouth s policy-making, although the consequences of these decisions will be felt more acutely by tax-paying Portsmouth residents and business owners. The students themselves are probably too young to be taxpayers. I noticed that the most outspoken student-activists who were quoted were from Rye and Greenland, so their pa
