    Sharrows Story Has Legs

    Decatur Metro | August 31, 2011 | 4:56 pm

    Who knew that a “paint on a road” story could have a part II?

    First, in case you missed it here, the city has posted a detailed explanation of their sharrow plan-o.  Here’s a blurb…

    Ponce de Leon and Sycamore Drive were chosen for sharrows because they are streets that provide important connections through town and have a wide variety of users on the street. Ultimately, the city will continue to place sharrows on all the streets in the Decatur Bicycle Network that call for an “on-street facility” and do not meet the requirements for bike lanes.

    And then this report from Sharon this afternoon…

    I was just interviewed (on my bike) by one of the local news channels about the sharrows on Ponce. (Maybe CBS, but I’m not sure. And of course I didn’t think to ask when they’d be airing the clip.) Hopefully they interviewed people who are better at thinking on their feet than I am, as I didn’t have much to say… but I did give props to DecaturMetro when they were surprised I had heard of a sharrow.

    UPDATE:  Here’s the link to the video.
