I attended the meeting and spoke up for scooters. It was odd that they weren't mentioned in the plan, because increasing scooter traffic is known to reduce traffic congestion. My plea was to attract scooter and motorcycle use by providing dedicated parking at the destinations along the route, and making sure that it gets written into the plan and local zoning ordinances. It was really well recieved.
Their plan sounds like a lot of small, common-sense ideas that, taken together, should really make a difference on Harrisburg Pike. It was refreshing to see a plan for improving a part of Lancaster that didn't involve a grandiose central $100 million project. Sometimes synchonizing signals and adding turning lanes and sidewalks is enough.
During my comment about scooters, I gave out my web address. So, for those who are coming here for the first time; #1 Welcome. Take a look around. Explore the links and tags on the right. And #2, the article on parking criteria is here.
