Earlier this year, I read a quote in the independent saying the route 34 project began almost a decade ago. In reality, the proposal you see celebrated its birthday over one hundred years ago. The city is unaware of the long history of this project, and unaware that they are repeating mistakes first made almost a century ago.

It looks like the city is planning to build a traffic circle where Livingston connects to Edwards--yes please! That is a bad intersection for anyone on Livingston. The cars park too close to the curb and make it impossible to see to the left or right.

Sharrows are an excellent visual cue to remind motorists that the road is meant to be used by cyclists.
