Paved Louisville and put up a parking lot: Seas of surface parking mar much of downtown Louisville, KY, our own Erik Weber found. Louisville has not enjoyed the same downtown revival that has left DC with few downtown surface lots. (Broken Sidewalk) (Comment)
Transit
Weekend video: Bring it down, pull the bar, put it on
TARC, the transit authority of Louisville, Kentucky, put together this catchy tune on how to mount your bike to a bus-mounted bike rack.
Bring it down, pull the barThe video shows bikes and buses and complementary modes.
Put it on, put it on
Take it off, put it up
Then you're done, then you're done!
It suggests a bike means that they can ride to a bus stop that they might otherwise consider too far away. The video also markets to regular cyclists, who might want to ride home on the bus rather than bike in the dark.
Floating around: Several cities around the country have installed "floating" bike lanes to accommodate cyclists on roads with flexible parking/travel lanes. Could these kinds of lanes be used in DC, perhaps on M Street in SE/SW? (Lexington, KY) (Comment)
