Bloomington 7-Line to be ruined by stop signs

Bloomington 7-Line to be ruined by stop signs

"Some cyclists had complained the stop signs would require them to stop at nearly every cross street, which would impede their momentum both up- and downhill. However, some bicyclists also said they were stopping at nearly every cross street anyway, because they always had to worry about inattentive and/or confused motorists failing to yield."

    Fortunately Kirkwood will be closed to car traffic for the summer soon. It has all the same stop signs, but a much wider car-free area and not nearly as much of a climb. Kirkwood will be a much better east-west route for biking than the 7-Line will be.
