Kinsley Ave has plans to be redesigned as a one way road with walking/bike path along the water
Here's a pic I took of the plans when I went in a walking tour with woonasquatucket council https://photos.app.goo.gl/FgYQtxyuTLPQtzCZ6

I hope it will be a strong start, but ultimately $27m is a tiny amount when it comes to public infrastructure. The quote from the ABC6 story, “advance engineering and systemic construction” makes it seem like maybe this will go toward designing blueprints for shared use roads, that will be implemented with other infrastructure dollars in the future. Like, making the technical engineering drawings for substrates, surfaces, markings, barriers, etc. to be used, that will eventually lead to a cohesive network of accessibility rather than a mishmash like how bike lanes are handled different ways in different parts of the city.

Just a thought, but when the weather is nicer there are boards along the pedestrian bridge.

I would imagine so! Though I'm not totally sure through which avenue this will take place. Providence Streets Coalition is a great org to follow as I'm sure they'll post more about this: https://www.instagram.com/providencestreets/

Cranston has a laughable "bicycle network" which is nothing more than signs along streets. Not even so much as a pavement marking. It would be nice if Cranston did something along the lines of Providence, as this article suggests

Interesting. I have no safe way to get there. But it is very cool if people could bicycle to that park from Providence.

Lol I’ll get a board and clock for myself. Not sure I’m much of an organizer haha but if we start I’m sure people will be happy to join and we can grow :p
But this would be awesome. Maybe some bughouse too! I used to live in Baltimore and there were some older guys who’d come to the Barnes and noble/Starbucks and play for a few hours.
It’s a good time. Will keep you updated!

I really want them to redesign North Main and Promenade/Kinsley Ave. Doesn't look like the moneys going there but that's fine, it looks like they're doing Valley st. which is great.

I hope they catch him, thanks for posting what it was! I heard the sirens, and was wondering what prompted the Cavalry.

I've ridden on the flagship stretch on Broad Street and it's great. I look forward to the day when I can get around the city on my bike and not feel like I'm constantly putting my life at risk.

the proposal are for urban trails in providence proper. But if youre in cranston and can get to roger williams park safely this grant is proposing a safe path from the park to the core of downcity

Will they be taking input or ideas from residents? This is great news.

Thank goodness - I really hate almost getting hit by a car whenever I’m not in one, and often when I am in one as well
