Description

Money was spent to install bike lanes on one block of Broad Street, but we may as well have flushed those dollars. Instead of clearing the roadway curb-to-curb, the DPW plowed it into the bike lane, making that unusable to cyclists. Predictably, when we ask for bike lanes in other places in Hartford, we'll be told this won't happen because the current one is not used.

1. Snow happens in New England every year. Make a plan for appropriate snow removal and stop bring shame to Connecticut

2. Bicycles are transportation, especially in a city with such widespread poverty. People riding bicycles are already vulnerable. There is no need to exacerbate their risk by essentially forcing people onto a narrow street used by motorists rushing to get onto I-84.
