BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

East Street in front of St. Boniface church recently was redone and bike lanes were installed after the resurfacing was completed. Last week, I noticed that the street was lined with cars when people were at the church for mass. I sort of freaked out and went on a bit of a rant at some people, and was told that the city said parking along the road during mass was OK. Later on, I drove by there and sure enough, the bike lane marking switch from solid lines to dashed lines in front of the church. I was cranky about it all at first, but the more I thought about it, I don't mind it. Is it really so bad to have some planned compromising that lets little old people park in front of their church without a bunch of hassle? Anyway, I never saw dashed bike lanes before...wondering if this is a common thing.
