ACTION ALERT! The City of Phoenix recently reneged on its promise of bike lanes on Roosevelt between First and 7th Avenues. Cyclists objected; now there's a meeting on Monday, October 28, 7 to 8:30 PM at Burton Barr Library, to seek input about "potential east-west bicycle connectivity options ... potentially including but not limited to Portland, Roosevelt, McKinley and Fillmore Streets." Uh...yes, please! We'll take all four, thanks. It's time to SPEAK UP.
Carmageddon Coming? ADOT is planning major work on the congested Broadway curve area of I-10. Construction will take years and divert thousands of cars daily to already-crowded surface streets. Careful planning will be critical. Find out more and share your thoughts.
Bike lockers removed
An observant cyclist asked City of Phoenix Public Transit why they replaced bike lockers at park-and-ride lots with racks. They replied via Twitter that the lockers were being misused and "the change happened to address safety concerns." May we suggest some Bike Lid lockers like Peoria recently installed?
