Put a buffered bike lane, street trees and flowers on it!
by Keihly Moore
Before: I'm not sure what the plans are for this "street diet" but I hope they look like the following.
After: Take up that extra lane space and give the bikes and pedestrians more of a buffer. Adding trees and plants will create more enclosure and encourage cars to drive slower. It will also beautify the environment, creating a more attractive gateway into Uptown and Wesley Heights.
