Danbury officials consider shared bike lanes for Main Street

Danbury is moving forward on plans for a Transit Oriented Development district downtown.  Officials are also working on a streetscape project for the sidewalks.  Planning Director Sharon Calitro told a committee of the City Council earlier this month that they are limited on some aspects of making CityCenter more bike friendly.  Her department is proposing shared bike lanes on Main Street, because of the width and travel of the street.  If there were dedicated bike lanes, Main Street would lose a lane of travel and lead to more congestion.  The discussion came during a study into the possible sale of surplus property off Main Street on Liberty Street.  The parcel is currently a permit and metered parking lot.
