Description
These bike lanes and “one lane” streets have caused more harm than good! My car was struck last night while parked legally on the street. Originally, we could park at the curb. Your car would be safe and never hit. My car has been hit multiple times because of this set up. The city has done nothing to make this safe for residents who have lived here for a long time. Pushing these bike lane agendas when no one in their right mind will ride a bike down crazy American Legion. This is ridiculous and the city should be liable for my damage.

    Case Resolved | The way that this street was spaced previously spaced set parked cars no further from the driving lane than the current design does. Additionally, visual narrowing of streets has been shown to reduce driving speeds, making parked cars and pedestrians safer overall. It saddens us to hear about your damaged vehicle, and we will work to better protect parked cars it the future, but with that being said it is important to note that the new design does not place parked cars along American legion at a heightened risk.
