[Lincolnparkdc] Pylons on Kentucky & 13th ...and plans for an advisory bike lane on 12th St early next year

[Lucia DiVenere]

Hi Steve.  Thanks for the heads up.  I can’t tell you how much this dismays
me.  Our beautiful historic neighborhood has been trashed by the sight of
these things.  I’ve lived at 12th and independence for 30+ years, brought
up my children here, and treasure the Hill.

This corner is a 3 way stop, so it already calms traffic.  I see the
traffic every day and would challenge the city to show incident data that
prove the need for pylons.

Thanks very much for thinking to let me know and for keeping me informed.
I’ll appreciate your thoughts as this develops.

Lucia
