Sandra,
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback regarding the proposed standard bike lane on Maple Street. Maple is being used as parallel route to Linden Street, connecting from Jennings to Church. Elm Street is not as direct of a route, and therefore was not selected for bike infrastructure.
The intersection of Elm, Turner and Beech creates an awkward jaunt that most riders would likely not take. Additionally, it terminates at Market Street to the South, and ideally we want bikers to get to Church Street.
We will continue to accept feedback and encourage you to attend the open house on June 18th 6-8pm at NCC Southside room 605.
Thanks again for your time!

I've lived in the 1100 block of Maple Street since 1999 and have some concerns about a bike route path in the section of Maple noted in the title. I welcome bike riders and for their safety will share that these blocks of Maple are likely the most heavily traveled and, therefore, often have drivers going well above speed limit, large trucks passing through to avoid traffic on Linden and 9 months of congested school traffic from both Liberty and Northeast. School traffic includes district busses, parents, students and staff not to mention many kids walking to and from school. From Washington Ave south to Geopp St., perhaps Elm would provide a safer bike route?

I live just off of Maple north of Washington and ride this route (on Maple downtown to Church) and really like it as it's much calmer than the main arteries. It's nice and wide and I think creating a well-marked bike lane along with new signage would be great to make sure drivers know it's there.
