There’s already an unprotected bike lane in both directions on 29th Avenue through the Sloan’s Lake neighborhood. Some businesses and residents on a road near Sloan’s Lake are hoping the city takes a U-turn on a proposed protected bike lane that would eliminate street parking for the entire corridor.
DOTI is considering two options for 29th Avenue between Sheridan and Zuni, which already has an existing unprotected bike lane in both directions and no street parking on the north side of the street. Trostel said she first heard of the bike lane proposal earlier this month via a mailed flier. She received it on Tuesday, and it advertised a meeting the next day. Trostel said she scanned it quickly and ignored the notice, figuring it had to do with construction on the street.The same thing happened on the following Thursday, when she received an email for a meeting the next day, Trostel said.
Feedback from the meeting included concerns from bikers about drivers running red lights, garbage cans and cars being parked in the bike lanes. Speeding along the entire corridor was noted as a concern. The current speed limit on the road is 30 miles per hour; both DOTI proposals would reduce the limit to 25 MPH.
Wilkinson’s husband works remotely, as do her neighbors. They have two cars, so one sits in the driveway while the other remains on the street. She’s not sure where she will be able to park. Her trash, compost and recycling are all picked up in the parking lane. Rubin is referring to city data which shows two bicycle fatalities on the street, both dating back a decade.Rubin, who also has Rise & Shine locations near Wash Park and in Lakewood, is an avid cyclist. And like Green and Trostel, most of his business comes from people parking outside and grabbing a bite to eat.
