It is unfortunate that protected bike lanes are being proposed for Blount and Person Streets and that the bike lanes on Wake Forest Road (WFR) in Mordecai will remain unprotected. Why not add protections by extending the two-way cycle tract to Brookside for Mordecai residents if protected bike lanes are now essential for the corridor? Originally, the corridor project was meant to be equitable for everyone with the two-way conversion along the whole corridor and two separate bike lanes running in each direction on much calmer streets. Now the two-way conversion is only on the North end of the corridor and WFR ends up with no bike protection. Perhaps its time shift focus away from designing “protected” lanes for cyclists for only a few streets downtown and devote more time designing more “complete” streets that encourage true traffic calming which allows everyone to “share” all roads in downtown safely - - it would truly be more equitable for everyone in downtown and not just in the corridor! Keep thinking outside the box, please!

The project calls for us to convert both Blount and Person streets into two two-way streets between Edenton Street and Delway Street. On a scale between 1 and 10, please rate your support for the two-way conversion.
Based on the information from the video and or the public meeting please let us know what parts of the project are the most important to you. Please put in order most important to least important.
