Sever...I wish I could have made it to the workshop! Several weeks ago, my husband and I went to a restaurant at MidTown. It was our first time at that establishment (called Beefys Reno). I spoke to the owner (about what a neat little gem of a place it is and if he was involved in the RTC Virginia Street/Midtown project). Long story short, I asked my husband how he found the place and--kid you not, he said while he was riding by on his road bike. He thought it was so cute that he wanted to go there together to eat lunch. So we rode our bikes from Sparks and had lunch! When we walk or bike, we notice so much more than when driving our cars so if the merchants at MidTown want to capture the local and tourist market, a slow, slow street would be better for business!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429314440355227095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883381846049638373.post-89866364157512678912015-10-18T07:44:04.813-07:002015-10-18T07:44:04.813-07:00Funny, I thought the same thing when I saw the &qu...Funny, I thought the same thing when I saw the "crew" guarding the downtown map/table. Nothing like self interest to get people to lobby for slower speeds so there is a silver lining I suppose. Since the Mayor made the statement that she'd like to see the speed limit lowered to 15 mph at the July CC meeting you'd think it could happen (I think she meant she wanted slower speeds posted immediately). The city (you know who I'm talking about) immediately said they could lower them to 25mph. The comments I wrote pretty much ended with me saying the downtown area should like like Copenhagen. Why not?! Time for some serious visionary infrastructure design in this city with the projected influx of people.
