This is because when you move the curb out to widen the sidewalk you need to move the storm sewer drains. This is very expensive. Also things like parking meters, bike racks, and street signs can be moved to the buffer island to free up pedestrian space on the existing sidewalk. Not a perfect solution I agree, but one much more likely to happen for simple budget reasons.Dbarchitecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04599255884637899728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625740434802274686.post-42787688916069682632012-06-29T15:20:02.215-07:002012-06-29T15:20:02.215-07:00That 7' between bike and car seems like wasted...That 7' between bike and car seems like wasted pavement. The space is better use to widen the narrow sidewalk, which only allows 2 person walking side by wide. How much nicer it would to walk, especially when there is a Giants game.Wai Yip Tunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16962859674348974902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625740434802274686.post-53140478489435905072012-06-29T12:39:04.439-07:002012-06-29T12:39:04.439-07:00I like it, but there should be more cycletrack wid...I like it, but there should be more cycletrack width, less green buffer.<br /><br />Cyclists have a 3 foot bicycling shy distance (CROW manual p48). <br /><br />A 6 foot bike lane increases difficulty when passing. <br />The Dutch know best.<br /><br />-jbBoudartjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008815130978390160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625740434802274686.post-18917350452996038422012-06-28T13:34:29.268-07:002012-06-28T13:34:29.268-07:00I can't wait for this!
