I asked about tamper-resistant hardware, and the City agreed that was a good idea - but getting the hardware may have slowed down the process. It is my understanding the racks will be reinstalled. Will confirm, though.<br /><br />As for Center street - Well. Sounds like a blog post to me! I'll go by there over the weekend, take pix, and try to learn more. The road work may not be complete. I have a hard time thinking that the bike lane gap is planned and permanent. Thanks for sharing that!Salem Breakfast on Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618055627843335993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-90360710128194840522010-09-03T14:37:00.085-07:002010-09-03T14:37:00.085-07:00But, speaking of why we very much need a real bike...But, speaking of why we very much need a real bike advocate on city staff:<br /><br />What the heck happened on Center St in front of the State Hospital???<br /><br />You're riding back from, say, Fresh Start Market in a bike lane and then, boom, at Park St. there's no bike lane until you clear the light at the bottom of the hill and the road is narrow with a high curb and no shoulder. <br /><br />How in hell did that get approved?Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731260619465817652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-85971896866872580902010-09-03T14:33:04.300-07:002010-09-03T14:33:04.300-07:00Rode by Chemeketa and Commercial today and the sta...Rode by Chemeketa and Commercial today and the staple rack has been returned in front of the Union Gospel Mission office -- no bike racks in front of Saffron though.Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731260619465817652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-17933817303652222010-09-03T10:07:11.866-07:002010-09-03T10:07:11.866-07:00Interesting post.

I was riding to visit Saffron the other day -- a truly great locally owned hardware store -- when I was distressed to find that the bike rack that was removed for the Commercial St. redo had not been returned. What's up with that?<br /><br />And a city bike coordinator could honcho ensuring that every business with a store front has, at the very least, a staple rack or two. Although I love Saffron, they have no bike parking at all.Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731260619465817652noreply@blogger.com
