Hilyard was really too narrow <br />for the added bike lanes. Thankfully, few bikes use the bike lanes but during the morning if <br />someone <br />is riding in the bike lane. I often wait until there is a free space from the other lane and merge into it <br />slightly to pass the biker. That is what other cars do also because the area is so very close. Often <br />there is a ""bottle-neck in traffic because cars are slowing to get around the bike. When I ride a bike I <br />don't feel safe doing so on Hilyard because you are right next to the cars. I ride on the sidewalk. <br />There is a lack of safe crossing on Hilyard for pedestrians and bikes. There should be another traffic <br />study done during the morning rush hours about 8-8:30am or the evening rush hour-the afternoon is <br />not a time to see the extent of the traffic. <br />Thank you. <br />Cindy Allen <br />
