Over on his blog, Mayor Bill Floyd asks for feedback on Church Street’s relatively new on-street parking.  According to the post, the city commission will decide this fall whether to make the change permanent.

The on-street parking was originally added to Church during the renovation of Glenlake Park, but the city has made little secret that it was also a test to determine the effectiveness of slowing traffic by reducing road-width.

The mayor says he believes the changes are working “quite well” to reduce traffic, though he’d like to make “some modifications.”

Extend the reduction to two lanes all the way from Commerce Drive to North Decatur Road. Add bicycle lanes and parking on both sides of the road. I would also like to see the traffic lights at Fortner and Lucerne removed and “round-a-bouts” installed.

He wants to know your thoughts, so now’s the time to speak up!

Since my pedestrian brain tends to dominate over my automobile brain these days, I love it and can’t wait ’til Clairemont and Commerce get similar treatment.
