Putting together tomorrow’s longer post on Edith Blvd. as a proposed “bike boulevard” in the City’s draft 2024 Bike Plan (page 99). Edith is a “Plausible Near-Term” recommendation on its list of priority projects, and, as one who has cycled Edith roughly three times a week for twenty years or so, I couldn’t be happier… Read More Edith Blvd. Bike Boulevard: Executive Summary
