Description

55th St. between Shattuck and Telegraph is a busy car/bus/bicycle corridor. Bicycles are supposed to share the road, but the on-street parking, often of large trucks/RVs, limits the space on the road. Cars are speeding to Hwy. 24 onramp. Buses roll through and there is a bus stop on 55th that pushes bikes into traffic. Could parking be eliminated except in front of residences near Shattuck, and dedicated bike lanes implemented the rest of the street? Or narrow the sidewalks to accommodate bike lanes? Make the sidewalks the bike lanes? It's really hard to get across Telegraph for bikes, I don't enjoy coming down Telegraph and turning left across traffic at 55th. Today I got doored by a double-parked Lyft on 55th. 😟
