'Road diet' no fix
Wed, 02/11/2009
I recently read your article concerning the "road diet" for Fauntleroy Way.
I am outraged that they would consider this a viable option for bicyclist! I currently live on Fauntleroy and I see first hand how many cars and bicycles use the street everyday. More than that I can hear how much of a traffic flow there is constantly. Changing this main street that is used by thousands a day into a two-lane road is absolutely ridiculous and is a HUGE waste of money.
There are far more cars that use this roadway then bicycles. Why can't they paint a bike lane in on the sides like most other roads have done? Why are you wasting my tax paying money on something that will adversely effect my living situation? I think this is a horrible idea, which will result in an even worse outcome for those who use Fauntleroy Way daily. I can't believe that they would consider this because bicyclists want more space. How ridiculous!
