Also, studies show that businesses on bike corridors actually see a 10% lift in business. I posted the studies on this blog a little while ago. Further, I think these businesses will see an increase in pedestrian traffic if Washington street is calmed, and the sidewalk goes in as planned. Thanks for always taking the time to think about these things and comment, Sharon. It's much appreciated!Woodlabs Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13682034124229184084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420925801892982642.post-19044268391036822872013-11-21T16:53:35.364-08:002013-11-21T16:53:35.364-08:00Yes, people are allowed to bike on the steep secti...Yes, people are allowed to bike on the steep section of Washington St. north of Five Points. As the posted signs show, they are also allowed to legally park there. Employees and customers wouldn’t park on Washington if they didn’t need to. Removing that parking without replacing it somewhere else would put people out of business.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407393601779534307noreply@blogger.com
