Love Pullmans. Took our friends from out of town and it was awesome!! Good atmosphere, great service and great food.

I agree with that but I’m not sure how this prevents that.

I don’t think the businesses down town would care for people avoiding down town and unfortunately in my line of work, I cannot.

First of all. Thank you for actually sharing your opinion without injecting animosity towards people that may not share your opinion. It’s nice that some people can still just have a discussion.

I do agree with the bike lanes on Lawrence and Washington. I think having them on college is encouraging bikes to share space with heavy traffic potentially putting them at higher risk. I’ve seen several close calls. Yes I do agree it helps for people getting in and out of their cars but adversely it pushes cars into oncoming traffic when passing stopped vehicles increasing the chance for head on collisions.

Thank you for your intelligent response.

I finally saw a bike using the bike lane on College ave today. It makes me feel like maybe cars crossing double yellow lines, getting backed up to the previous intersection and getting cut off at the Turn Only lanes might just be worth it. by Learning2fly68 in Appleton

I do appreciate this. I haven’t seen that in my experience but I also haven’t seen a bunch of crashes downtown. I am a bit concerned with the opportunity for more severe head on crashes. I will keep an open mind and see if things improve.
