Alaska's first Critical Mass
Alaska DOT wants to remove the bike lanes from the Juneau-Douglas
Bridge and turn it into a 3 lane roadway with a !reversible! lane, a proven accident-causer, in order to solve supposed traffic volume problems 20 years from now. The Juneau City-Borough Assembly unfortunately bought into this idiotic idea on a 5-4 vote. So Juneau cyclists held Alaska's first Critical Mass ride during Juneau's half-hour "rush hour" last night. See http://www.juneauempire.com/stories/..._bicycle.shtml ================================================== =========== "Widening highways to cure congestion is like trying to cure obesity by loosening your belt." --- Stephen Goddard Dennis P.

It's encouraging that only a weak, 5/4 majority passed this and that the Mayor was opposed. Some unrelenting legal action in Juneau should be able to block this anti-bike project and maybe set a good precedent for the whole state. There's a rush hour in Juneau? How fast can dog sleds go? Sorry, couldn't resist. Steve McDonald |
