If you have traveled through the Lower Town study area as a bicyclist, what issues have you experienced?
Riding Plymouth by bike is dangerous. No real room for bicycles on the road. And if you use the path from Jones heading toward downtown, it's also dangerous. Cars don't look for someone/something moving faster than a pedestrian on a path/sidewalk.
Navigating the whole Broadway/Maiden Lane/Moore/Plymouth Rd intersection is very difficult and dangerous especially if trying to turn.
The Broadway Bridge is dangerous. A bike is moving too slow to be with cars on the road and too fast to be with pedestrians on the sidewalk. The hard turns in the sidewalk to navigate the cutouts do not lend themselves to bicycle traffic.
If you have traveled through the Lower Town study area by public transit, what issues have you experienced?
No complaints about the buses other than them not putting up schedules for certain of the regular bus routes in the shelters. The 65 for example has been operating on Plymouth for years and is optimal for those of us heading to campus. In all that time they have never put up the schedule for the 65 although the other route schedules are up.
