			<description><![CDATA[<p>There is good reason for your preference.&#160; From the p.o.v. of one interested in cyclists&#039; safety for those using Manor or Cherrywood to get around, decades of experience globally shows that this sort of shared-use side path is more dangerous than no cycling accommodation at all, and more dangerous than the current configuration as well.&#160; From the p.o.v. of one interested in pedestrian safety, it looks like a fine plan, but only if it were modified to keep the bikes off the path.&#160; How much is the city spending to make it worse?&#160; What does it take to show that a cyclist is not some type of pedestrian?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The City is painting some bus lanes red:&#160; <a href="https://www.kxan.com/traffic/seeing-red-check-out-austins-new-bus-lane-initiative/" rel="ugc">https://www.kxan.com/traffic/seeing-red … nitiative/</a></p><p>They&#039;re also blowing up the Manor Rd./Cherrywood area.&#160; The bike lane in each direction will transition into a &quot;shared use path&quot; with pedestrians.&#160; Me, I think I preferred the dedicated bike lanes.</p><p><a href="https://www.austintexas.gov/CherrywoodManor" rel="ugc">https://www.austintexas.gov/CherrywoodManor</a></p><p>BTW, I own every property on the east side of Stafford Street, there&#039;s no sidewalk, and all the yards slope towards the street so you can&#039;t walk on the area where a sidewalk would go.&#160; I contemplated excavating and building a retaining wall at considerable expense so there could be a path for people to walk on instead of having to walk in the street (and there&#039;s an elementary school right around the corner), but the City won&#039;t allow it unless I also spend untold thousands of dollars building an ADA approved sidewalk (200 feet long), so I won&#039;t build the path.&#160; The City could get a free walking path, but because they&#039;re mandating a sidewalk, they (and the neighborhood) get NOTHING.&#160; Typical CoA.</p>]]></description>
