i thought that you tried to provide all sides of the issues, no? 

I write mostly commentary, based on the Webster definition of "an expression of opinion."

For an example of commentary just watch any cable news show, and these days virtually every front page article on the Washington Post.

Just kidding ... well, not entirely. 

if she and the other participants -who have spent a lot of time working on this - think this is doable, then i'm confident they have some good ideas to make it work. she is an outside-the-box thinker.

She is a very intellight and capable person, but she cannot make the right-of-way width of the parkway any wider so as to comply with Maryland design criteria for official bike lanes -- at least without no-parking signs and police enforcement via parking tickets along the entire parkway. I don't believe parking is allowed in official bicycle lanes.

Even if that was done, it would also require reduction of the Parkway speed limit to 30mph or less. Could not remain 35mph.

In an effort to provide infomation, I included a link to the applicable Maryland bicycle lane designs. Did you click and read those?

As an aside, I think Patti and her group are trying to get 100 valid-voter signatures on a petition to place a question on the upcoming ballot that would allow a vote on this issue at the annual meeting. Non binding, however.

I have also heard that four board members already signed the petition, but also that the board members may not have realized what they were signing.
