Bike Boulevard on Nueces

22nd February, 2010 - Posted by carsi - No Comments

There has been much discussion about making Nueces Street more bike-friendly in an attempt to divert bicycle traffic away from car traffic and to provide a safe, non-hilly street for cyclists. This plan, originally proposed by City Council in its bicycle master plan, has sparked controversy among business and home owners on the street who claim that the bike boulevard would hurt their businesses and decrease their home values. If you’d like to take part in the discussion, there will be a public forum on Wednesday, February 24, at 6:00 pm at Pease Elementary School. Check out the Statesman’s article for more info.
