Wooddale Avenue Bike Lanes

Spoke in favor of protected bike lanes on Wooddale, citing safe routes to schools and parks, and asked the council to consider fully protected lanes with bollards.

Opposed the parking removal and proposed an alternative striping plan for 50th to 56th Street that keeps parking while fitting bike lanes within the 38-foot width.

Urged the council to require protected rather than painted bike lanes and framed the parking vote as a choice between safety and subsidizing private parking.
