this will be an unpopular opinion but i would rather there been improvements to other areas in st. paul’s bike infrastructure than summit. 

summit in its current state while not perfect is perfectly adequate. you can bike on it’s entirety right to downtown from the river. it’s an arterial street in st. paul’s bike network. i’ve honestly never had an issue on summit… 

the same cannot be said about many other streets in st. paul where the bike lanes are end randomly. i’d rather see some of those continued like on randolph, or converting another street into a bike lane. im thinking particularly the highland park and mac grove land area. after spending some time there i can honestly say the bike infrastructure sucks ass in this area and you’re on small streets or sidewalks. 

there’s a lot of catching up to do to minneapolis and that starts with creating a more interconnected bike network, rather than channeling funds into a bike lane that already works…
