Bike-able Glendale

Have to say, I like bike lanes. I ride a bike, my kids ride bikes, and it's good to not be as worried about being a hazard for traffic (more likely the other way around). 

Even still, the bike lanes being put in some places in Milwaukee trouble me some due to challenges with turn lanes, passing pulled over buses, and parking.  We need to consider more than the popularity of being more bike-able when lanes are put in. That said, I think what we have been doing in Glendale is a good balance between bikes and vehicles.

In 2020, we did a full City bike and pedestrian study which resulted in our Bike and Pedestrian plan. We are now seeing this come to life with improvements this year in various places from federal American Rescue Plan Funding. Soon we will be redoing Siler Spring road and making similar balanced improvements.

I am looking forward to continuing improvements as funding presents itself or more connectivity. There's room for win / win solutions here, keeping in mind we need to consider all road users when making decisions.
