In addition to green striping applications at intersections, some communities have painted the entirety of the bike lane green along busy roadways. The Town is considering this along Middlefield Road - what are your thoughts about this?

  • What do you LIKE about the green striping?

    I think it is advantageous to have those places where cars and bikes must merge at larger intersections; it is a good reminder. However, I hope the use of green markings is limited to the areas most dangerous.

  • What do you DISLIKE about the green striping?

    I wonder if it is slippery for bikers.

    This might be a good idea for the areas around the two schools. I believe the worst area for cars driving in the bike lane is along Valpariso so this area should be considered also.

    I think the bike markings with arrows (down Watkins, etc.) are a waste of paint.
