Adopted Pass Action details Video  Add New Comment 2 records Group Clear sorting Clear grouping Group by File # Group by Name Group by District Group by Opinion Export Export to Excel Export to PDF Export to Word File # Date  Name District Opinion Comment Action RES PH 23-125 5/24/2023 12:29 AM Ted Madison   For Safety is the most important reason to adopt the Summit Avenue Regional Trail Plan. Existing painted bike lane markings provide no protection from distracted and aggressive drivers in 4-5000 pound cars and trucks. Likewise, dirt, debris and snow that is pushed into the bike lane creates a hazardous situation for people on bicycles and those who drive. When the proposed plan is implemented, including protected bike lanes that are physically separated from moving and parked cars, I have no doubt that more families with children and people of all ages and abilities will choose to ride bicycles along Summit Avenue and enjoy the historic beauty of that neighborhood. These lanes will not only enhance the safety and enjoyment of people who choose to ride a bike to the store, to school or church, but the lanes will be easier to keep clean. I applaud the city for their thorough and thoughtful plan and I encourage the city council to proceed with funding and implementation. -1 RES PH 23-125 5/23/2023 3:42 AM Peter Butler   Against May 22, 3023 Pioneer Press: "St. Paul Public Works Director Sean Kershaw, among others, have countered that non-vehicular travel is essential in a world increasingly impacted by rising temperatures..." The proposed trail will have zero impact on global warming. P*** a carbon tax if the goal is to reduce vehicle emissions.
