Columbus Ave

Category: 6. Poor pavement conditions for bicycling

Cobblestones in center are charming and quaint. But they are a hazard and should be removed.
1) People crossing street in heels or wheel chair have difficulty
2) Lane too narrow for parking plus bike lane plus auto travel. Bike lane very narrow, must ride the left hand stripe to stay out of door zone. Cobble stones keep cars from giving a little extra room when passing bikes in the bike lane.
3) Therefore, either remove the parking or remove the cobble stones. Wider street allows buffer between parked cars and bike lane, and a bike lane of proper width
