In my town, Branford, we have sufficient bike parking AND we even have new housing near the Shoreline East station. However, while I am being encouraged to ride my bike to the station, I cannot ride my bike from my destination station to work. Why? Because I can&#39;t bring my bike on Metro-North! As best as I understand, that is not going to change. If I decide to bike all the way, which is a long ride, crossing the Q river is a challenge because the Rte 1 bridge is very bicycle hostile, and the new &quot;Q&quot; bridge, when completed in another 10 years will not have a bike/pedestrian walkway. SO, my bike stays at home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451501061157008528.post-88404738142457562252009-03-03T09:38:00.000-05:002009-03-03T09:38:00.000-05:00Excellent post!!!matthew houskeeperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12043873610380390344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451501061157008528.post-73093600981210292032009-03-01T19:25:00.000-05:002009-03-01T19:25:00.000-05:00the DOT's core mission seems to be Destroying Our Towns, not maintenance.<BR/><BR/>DOT needs to completely revamp its strategies and start hiring planners from Copenhagen to design bike and pedestrian friendly streets that contribute to street life, not destroy it. for example, any street that runs through a business district should have maximum travel speeds of about 15 miles per hour, to encourage people to live, shop, work and spend leisure time there.<BR/><BR/> NYC has done this, why can't conecticut?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
