Street. The bike lane would be a cycle track, which is a protected lane for bikes. Usually such lanes take away some parking.

Lisa Falvey was out biking with her kids on Friday. She said she understands why people are worried about the cycle track, but also wants safer bike routes for her family. "There’s a lot of bike traffic on the road, so I think, in an ideal world, it would be great if it were safer for people on their bikes to ride,” Falvey said. “But I don’t know what kind of research the city has done regarding how it’s going to displace the existing car traffic, because that’s the concern of the neighborhood.”

That’s exactly what business owners Jay Schiering and David Katz are worried about.
