I live on Palisade near Christ Hospital and it’s usually pretty easy. Like others have said, certain times are tricky but I have never been totally unable to park.

I also work from home so moving the car for street cleaning during the day is very easy.

I’m also a dog owner. I used to think more trash cans would help, but lately there’s been an absurd amount of household trash being put in cans near me. The trash cans have been disappearing — I guess the city is sick of them getting full and got rid of some 🤔

It’s super frustrating cuz Union City has a zillion trash cans and they’re all well cared for.

This was a short experiment. They were temporary lanes. I’m not quite sure what ~3 days of having a 2-block bike lane is going prove as an experiment, though. I only know this cuz I chatted with some bike activists who were gathered around there over the weekend.

I live on this block and barely saw it used.

As much as I want cyclists off the sidewalk and I want it to be safer to get around the Heights on a bike, I really don’t want a bike lane for the whole length of Palisade.

I rather see raised crosswalks to prevent speeding and make crossing safer while preserving parking. It’s already difficult to park near my house and paid off-street parking is really difficult to find. When I said this on Twitter, I was immediately yelled at to pay for parking. I have to assume by someone who never tried to find parking to rent in the Heights cuz they’d know it’s pretty damn hard to accomplish.
