Mayor clears Bike Lane with a Tank

2011-04-04T21:45:00.000-07:00

Ever wished that actions had consequences or dreamed of a world where cars couldn’t park in the bike lane without being crushed by a tank, Truckosaurus-style?

If so, Arturas Zuokas, the mayor of Vilnius, Lithuania, might just be your new hero. Zuokas, an avid cyclist, decided to make an example of one such lane-clogging Mercedes Benz by crushing it with an army troop carrier. What followed should be deeply fulfilling to any cyclist who’s fantasized about exacting sweet demolition-derby revenge on a high-end parked obstacle.

“I’ve had enough of these drivers parking their cars on bike lanes and pedestrian crossings,” Zuokas told the media. “This tank is a good tool to solve the problem of parking in the wrong place.”

Good News

2010-11-02T12:28:00.000-07:00

The City of Florence took up enforcement action against parking in bicycle lanes.

There are more good news for pedestrians and cyclists in Florence:
The city is currently updating its Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Transportation System Plan (TSP), Community Transit Plan andCapital Improvement Program (CIP) to ensure that urbanization of the Urban Growth Boundary occurs in an integrated, connected manner that facilitates use of alternative modes, reduces reliance on the automobile, reduces use of state highways for local travel, provides certainty about planned transportation investments to encourage economic development and lowers future emissions.

To stay informed keep an eye on following sites:
- City of Florence
- Florence Transportation System Plan

Bike Lane parking is a Class D violation with a fine of $142.00. That's the only language some folks seem to understand.

Oak Street old bike stencils

2009-08-30T15:31:00.001-07:00

Oak Street bike lane (north of 35th St) - can we see an old bike lane stencil here?

There are people in this town that are misinformed about our bike lanes. Oak Street (north of 35th Street) is a Minor Arterial Facility, just as 35th Street is. Oak Street has been signed as a bike lane but stencils disappear, even signs get taken down and bike lanes don't get repainted.

Take a closer look above. More questions?

Oak Street south of 35th Street. Repaved bike lane, old bike lane stencil can still be seen. Further south on Oak the bike lane striping never got repainted and the signs were taken down.

There are 3 schools on Oak Street south of 35th and it connects to Miller Park but there is no bike lane along the Elementary school!
