Alaska DOT wants to remove the bike lanes from the Juneau-Douglas
Bridge and turn it into a 3 lane roadway with a !reversible!
lane, a proven accident-causer, in order to solve supposed
traffic volume problems 20 years from now.
The Juneau City-Borough Assembly unfortunately bought into this
idiotic idea on a 5-4 vote. So Juneau cyclists held Alaska's
first Critical Mass ride during Juneau's half-hour "rush hour"
last night.
