Feb 5th, 2010 | By Eric | Category: Advocacy, EventsWe’ve got a shot at real, good improvements to Pleasant Valley Parkway! Please join the forces for good!
When: Monday Feb 8, 6 pm
Where: Capital Ridge (assisted living facility) 700 Smith St
Early word is that the new plan calls for one-way movement on each side of the stream, removal of one car lane, and addition of bike lanes on each side. It would end up looking like a small-scale Blackstone Blvd, if this is true. Currently, the roads on both sides of the median/stream BOTH allow 2-way traffic, with little room for cyclists and walkers, and extreme confusion at intersections.
See you there! We’ll all head to RI Velosprints (at McFadden’s, on Pine St) afterwards!
