Curb extensions and on- <br />street parking result in inconsistent <br />space for biking on the street and <br />uncomfortable biking conditions. The <br />sidewalks are busy at arrival/dismissal <br />times with students walking and <br />biking to school, making the sidewalks <br />feel crowded and creating conflicts <br />between users. <br />Participants noted Silver Lake Rd <br />NE/Kenzie Ter & St Anthony Blvd as a <br />barrier for walking and biking. Some <br />curb ramps are not aligned to the <br />crosswalk direction, requiring people <br />biking to enter the lane of oncoming <br />traffic to get to the median island. <br />Participants noted that St Anthony <br />Blvd feels too narrow to bike <br />comfortably alongside traffic. At <br />Stinson Blvd NE, the roadway <br />transitions to the Grand Rounds <br />bikeway system, with wide sidewalks <br />serving as a shared biking and <br />walking facility. <br />37th Ave NE is the border between <br />Ramsey and Hennepin Counties. The <br />roadway has recently undergone a 4- <br />to-3-lane conversion, leaving wide <br />shoulders for biking. Students are <br />regularly seen crossing mid-block <br />along 37th Ave NE to reach the <br />school. <br />67
