D is wide, flat, smooth, and straight -- so drivers respond accordingly.<br /><br />By narrowing the road with bike lanes, drivers will slow down.Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731260619465817652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-70245861792106107052016-10-31T16:53:29.130-07:002016-10-31T16:53:29.130-07:00I agree D Street is a one of the nicer main street...I agree D Street is a one of the nicer main streets in the area, but I don't see how bike lanes can be added without making the street wider. In the three years I've been biking in that area, traffic has seemingly increased two-fold and cars often travel much faster than the speed limit. I usually bike on the sidewalk when I have to use it, but I normally take Nebraska to avoid as much of D as possible. I'd be interested to hear how to make this street more pedestrian\bicycle friendly without widening it.Rich Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440927486109313139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-73441517465707761202016-10-30T18:48:43.086-07:002016-10-30T18:48:43.086-07:00So glad that D Street might be protected from wide...So glad that D Street might be protected from widening. With the redevelopment of the North Campus there is a temptation to widen the street. If this were to happen, one of the most pleasant streets in northeast Salem would be lost. The tree lined street with the adjacent open spaces needs to be preserved!<br /><br />Even as you move further west along D Street the charm continues. Susann Kaltwassernoreply@blogger.com
