Spring garden is going to be parking protected.
It's also not that harrisburg made a law, it's just that the way our streets are codified requires cars to be parked next to the curb. Parking protected bike lanes are "pilots" that PennDOT grants because they realize it would require a pretty heavy political lift from our insane state legislature to change the code.

"Parking-separated bike lanes have historically been barred on state-owned roadways because Pennsylvania law requires parked vehicles to be within 12 inches of the curb, or the edge of the pavement." Although this is(was) technically the law for all roads in PA.
not disagreeing with you, just adding some nuance in case anyone else is following along.

Correct, thank you. I figured that bill was going to either get killed or poison pilled but never followed up, appreciate the article.
Pennsyltucky never fails to amaze me with their absolute braindead politics.
