Letter: Safest route
To the editor:
I live in southeast Lawrence and use Kasold to get from 31st Street to Sixth Street to see my primary care doctor, my ophthalmologist, the dog’s vet, the Free State pool, church and Theatre Lawrence. For me, it is the safest, fastest way to get to those places.
During peak morning and evening times, you will see that two lanes both ways are certainly needed. If you put Kasold “on a diet,” people will just choose another route and that will worsen the traffic on those other smaller streets. I don’t think that reducing the size or Kasold will make people more likely to use bikes.
