I am concerned that one day I’ll hit a biker while driving on city streets. I have witnessed many near-misses, all which could have been avoided if the biker didn’t need to choose between being on a sidewalk or a narrow strip between moving cars and parked cars. In these situations, people point out that the biker was wearing dark clothes or wasn’t taking an alternative route or that the driver wasn’t paying attention. What’s really to blame? Lack of safe infrastructure. I’ll appreciate the Hennepin redesign when I’m biking, but I’ll also appreciate it when I’m driving and there are no longer bikers “in the way”.

From: Do you support the proposed plan to redo Hennepin Ave. South through Uptown?
