Park Ave Report Draft.

[Winston Lumpkins]

Hi folks, 

We're very nearly there:

Draft Report: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DOAZQse02Ml572SLoUsv4vD43Xwc_EdmDZp1-gx7Ehg/edit?usp=sharing
The Notes are here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fsmjGWQ1aZlUkdNkFZ1TBdvdvOjNYvrCTxekv7cxtiE/edit?usp=sharing

In the recommendations section we settled on 3 options, listed in order of preference: 

Option 1 - Two Way Bike Lane (on the Deering oaks side)

Option 2 - Restore the unprotected bike lane on the south side of Park Avenue, with improved parking protected lane on the deering oaks side

Option 3 - Update the existing design & devise a plan for maintenance and repairs

Those options are elaborated on at great length in the draft; please read if commenting!

Let me know if you have any comments, we're getting pretty close to publishing the report, after which comments will have no effect!

Thanks all for working on this, I have made a few suggested edits. Mostly they are minor in nature, but on the more substantive end of the spectrum, I'd suggest perhaps a phased approach to the recommendations. It may be useful to quickly implement the suggestions in Option 3 to remove life and safety hazards, then look at Option 2 as a placeholder while funding is secured to do the best, "gold standard" Option 1 recommendation. I added some language as such to be considered.

Nice. Thanks.

My hesitancy around that approach is that it might encourage the city to do the bare minimum (the “80/20 rule”) and call the mediocre good.

Zack, I think that is a valid concern. On the other hand it might encourage some worthwhile short term actions that could be very helpful, verus the unacceptable status quo.

Very much appreciate all the work folks put into this. No comments from me.
