re: Bike lane controversy on Glenmore Ave in BR

I've been following this since it started 2-3 months ago. After the few people got hit on their bikes. One biker was making an illegal turn, the other was actually hit by someone running a stop sign; the biking community went on a tear to demand safe streets. This included calling up BRPD to get the 4-5 people who parked in these lanes on Glenmore ticketed.

Biking community went with force, and residents responded accordingly. Had they come to a reasonable solution and conversation first, they wouldn't have come to this point.

I've biked/walked/run on Glenmore for over 6 years now, the street isn't so busy that cars, trash cans, walkers, etc. blocking the lanes cause an unsafe situation for the riders.

I think the lanes should stay, and common courtesy of the residents to use their driveways as much as possible lends a fair solution.


This has also turned into a have's and have not's issue. Seen a few posts on Nextdoor related to the wealth of Glenmore Ave. residents by the biking community.
