Freedom is America's greatest principle. In order to have true freedom in this country, we must have freedom of movement. Car dependency does not allow for freedom of movement, nor is it fiscally viable. Bike lanes enable more people, including those with disabilities, to get around in a safer, more efficient manner. Bike lanes also save the county money in maintenance and bring more business and opportunities to local shops and restaurants. Bike lanes area a triple WIN situation!
Maryland needs more infrastructure for bikes and scooters! With the rise in use of e-bikes and e-scooters, there need to be safety features implemented on the roads for us.
I can't tell you how many cars speed past me, honk at me, etc just for being on the road when not only are many of the sidewalks unusable for anyone on wheels, but we have a right to the road too!
more bikes and scooters can fit in a lane than cars, and the more people use these options, the more traffic is reduced for people in cars and the less damage is done to the already suffering roads of baltimore.
and don't let the fire dpt say that bike lanes block their trucks! they need smaller emergency vehicles like they have in europe and japan, and they would be able to use bike lanes to respond to emergencies faster!

Lived in Nola for ten years wishing for this the entire time. So many driving miles wasted by those seeking free parking which will not likely be found, spoiling the experience for everyone who only wants to enjoy the this rare neighborhood the way it should be — at human speed
I lived in New Orleans for years and worked in the French Quarter as a bicycle tour guide and pedicab driver. The amount of vehicle traffic is not only incredibly difficult and frustrating, but really dangerous for everyone. The quarter would be so much safer, more beautiful, and functional with this plan. Please on behalf of the city and visitors consider this important issue. Thank you!
New Orleans City Code Sec. 146-36 established a complete streets program in 2012 that REQUIRES planning for all users and making decisions based on crash data. Year after year, the quarter and the boundary of Canal Street have the highest number of pedestrian crashes-- this plan needs to be taken seriously for the public health of New Orleanians over the tourism industry. Inaction not only affects quality of life, but is costing lives.
