Finance and Commerce reports on plans to study the construction of a bike path on busy Snelling Avenue in St. Paul, Minnesota. Now designated as State Highway 51 and a Truck Route, the road is scheduled for a $2 million resurfacing project this spring.
"Complete Streets" advocates want the state to install bike lines as part of the process. The F&C article declares, without support or attribution, that the “Complete Streets” philosophy is "increasingly popular." We'll see how popular the philosophy becomes once speeds are reduced, street parking disappears, and trucks begin navigating 10-foot-wide lanes.
Get ready, Central Avenue in Minneapolis and Highway 96 in White Bear Lake are next.
