Reject King Street Option 2

The city's plan for King Street is going to get someone killed.

if this option is pushed through, it will create a hazardous situation that was preventable.

While I love biking, the first priority in doing so would be for safety of both the bicyclists and drivers. If King St was much wider I would support this petition; however, given the reality of the situation, I don't think it's feasible or advisable to include dedicated bike lines on this particular St.

The intersection of King and Callahan is frustrating enough as it is. With cyclists alternately behaving as road traffic or as pedestrian traffic when it suits them the intersection will only be worse. Making the King St lanes narrower to accomodate the bike lanes makes even less sense.

Have the safety issues involved with cars turning onto and off of Cedar and West Rosemont, across the proposed bike lane, been seriously considered?

Bike lanes do not belong on King Street. I travel this route regularly, so my concern is for satety, not loss of parking (which doesn't affect me). While I most often walk or drive to Old Town or the metro, I don't want to be forced to ride my bike on that stretch of street, the street is not wide enough for a bicyclist to feel safe.

Please no blinking bike lane on King Street!

King Street does not need a bike lane.

I regularly park on King Street and walk through the neighborhood with my dogs. Not only is parking actually used on King Street, but I rarely see bicyclists. The hill is too steep.taking it away is nonsense.

I strongly support the King Street Coalition for Safety's position against the installation of separate bike lanes on King Street.

As a 1.5 year resident of Park Rd I strongly agree with the Alexandria Transportation and Parking Board's decision.

Please do not allow the bike lanes. . there is enough congestion now on King Street.

As a 21 year resident of Alexandria I believe that King Street is not a good choice for more bike lanes. I am am a cyclist and I choose the braddock road route instead

Please do not allow bike lanes on King Street. The Alexandria Transportation and Parking Board is right. Concept 2 presents major dangers, delays and inconvenience for the 15,000 vehicles that travel this section of the road every day. There are other solutions through Masonic Temple grounds.

I am surprised that a so obviously dangerous proposal could ever hAve been considered in the first place.

Mixing bikes and cars is an inherently dangerous combination. Accidents happen and, in an accident between a cycilist and car, the cycilist will loose. We spend so much to make our lives and communities safer; this is not one.

As an active cyclist (riding over 1000 miles each year), Education and Awareness (signage and pavement markings) is the correct way to handle the issue: bike lines are the worst alternative.
