Studies completed in 2012 strongly demonstrate latent demand (ie demand that is not currently being met) for bike lanes for commuter cyclists in Salisbury, Maryland.  In order to address this demand, dedicated, on-street bike lanes are proposed for the following streets:

Bateman Street

Carroll Street

Camden Avenue

East College Avenue

West College Avenue*

South Division Street (south of Eastern Shore Drive)

South Division Street (north of Carroll Street)

Eastern Shore Drive

South Boulevard*

Smith Street*

Waverly Drive

* indicates streets with existing on-street parking

In order to establish bike lanes on these streets, reductions or elimination in on-street parking will be required, as well as changes in existing vehicle lanes.

 Here is the map noting the proposed roads for bike lanes:

I, the undersigned, petition the Mayor and City Council of Salisbury, Maryland to take immediate action to properly plan, design, fund, construct, and maintain dedicated on-street bike lanes in Salisbury.  Bike lanes in our City will greatly improve the quality of life of its citizens, promote a more sustainable way of living, increase property value, and improve traffic circulation by reducing the number of vehicles on roadways.

I understand that constructing these dedicated bike lanes may require changes such as narrower travel lanes for vehicles, fewer travel lanes for vehicles, and a reduction or elimination of on-street parking on some streets.  These potential solutions are completely acceptable as the merits of bike lanes will provide a greater benefit to all of the citizens of and visitors to Salisbury.

I biked my four years at Salisbury as an undergrad and as an employee of the University up until 2011. I only ride roads no matter what traffic looks like. So what do you say, a guy on a bike taking up the entire right lane at 5:00 pm on a weeknight because of safety issues or a bike lane and everyone is happy? For my years in Salisbury it was the former. How can you expect to be a commuter friendly town (especially with the University??) without bike lanes? Build lanes! I was hit twice in college. People not checking their blind spots when making turns. And when you are spinning at 25-30 mph that hurts.


Bike lanes!

Bicycling in Salisbury has become a safety issue for many students and members of the Salisbury community. The roads should accommodate the increasing amount of bicycle traffic via these bike lanes as soon as possible
