Develop a concrete bicycling plan for Bethlehem - Bike lanes, racks, etc

Strongly support this idea, and I’m excited to get involved at the next round of meetings. In terms of the bridges, improving access to the Fahy from the north should be easiest to tackle. There appears to be plenty of pavement on both Center and Lehigh to add dedicated lanes, including for turning. The approach from the south between Second and Columbia could be improved, as riders currently need to move quickly to cross Second street, make the light and climb the approach ramp without adequate room for cars to pass. In both cases (and in many other places in the city, like the Broad Street project), it would be amazing if green bike lights could be added to the traffic signals to give riders a head start crossing the intersections before motor vehicle traffic begins to move. This alone would have the benefit of reminding drivers that bikes are often present in town. Riding on the Minsi Trail is terrible given the speed of traffic and the bends limiting the line of sight. Riders are forced to use the narrow sidewalk, which can’t be done safely if there are walkers or other riders present. Because of the traffic noise, it’s often too loud for walkers to hear cyclists using bells or yelling out when approaching. When riding to the south, crossing Daly Ave to access the Greenway feels particularly unsafe in the crosswalk, given limited visibility and the tendency for drivers to roll through the light, even when red.
