Can you provide a link in the chat here? Can't copy off the poster easily. This is a long overdue missing link in the bike lane from Hopkins Pl down to the Stadium area.

Sharp Street along that stretch is a speedway right now as people use otterbein as a shortcut to bypass the harbor. I’m all for this but they need to bring in some speed control along here. I’ve also been told in the past that they were t able to do much on that street (stop signs , speed bumps, etc) because of the federal reserve and the need for the armored cars to have easy access in and out. Not sure if that would impact a bike lane either. Seems like obstacles that can be overcome to make this link.

I’ve biked and scootered along this street many times and have felt threatened for my life by cars countless times. When are we going to protect vulnerable road users instead of catering to single occupancy automobile users?

I won't be able to make the meeting but I have biked this route countless times. A dedicated bike lane especially north of Conway st is very much needed. It would also allow bike lane connections to the cathedral street two-way bike lane

Really glad to see this is being proposed! I bike between My Vernon and Federal Hill often, and getting to and from the end of the cycle track on Cathedral is dicy.

Is there an email for folks to comment in case they can't attend? Looks like a lot of folks in here want speed management a separated lane along the whole corridor, would be great if they could send that to someone.
