Another important public hearing!

We’ve got a shot at real, good improvements to Pleasant Valley Parkway!  Please join the forces for good!

When: Monday Feb 8, 6 pm

Where: Capital Ridge (assisted living facility) 700 Smith St

Early word is that the new plan calls for one-way movement on each side of the stream, removal of one car lane, and addition of bike lanes on each side.  It would end up looking like a small-scale Blackstone Blvd, if this is true.  Currently, the roads on both sides of the median/stream BOTH allow 2-way traffic, with little room for cyclists and walkers, and extreme confusion at intersections.

See you there!  We’ll all head to RI Velosprints (at McFadden’s, on Pine St) afterwards!
