Amsterdam in the Netherlands is a city of bicycles. But a new bicycle lane planned for Wabasha Street in downtown St. Paul might prove the undoing of Amsterdam Bar and Hall, its owner says.
The bike lane, which the City Council approved 6-0 Wednesday, is part of St. Paul s Capital City Bikeway project to develop trails downtown. The nightclub laments the loss of parking spaces that music acts use for their buses and equipment unloading.
