Description
Now that there are Large Bike Lanes on the East and West side of MLK, the debris from grass cuttings, limbs, brush, cans, bottles, rocks and items tossed from vehicles 'STAY' in the bikes lanes where prior automotive traffic 'USED' to crush it and blow it away. Street Sweepers are now needed at LEAST weekly to prevent bicycle rider from dangers that could force them into the lanes of traffic to avoid, broken glass, tree limbs, shrubs, shoes, etc.

qq... You might be right, but this is the perfect example of how things will go;
...Because of nice big wide lanes on the right side of the road, we should expect a number of incidents where cars turning right from the roadway will strike bikers in that intersection lane. Then of course our sanctuary city mayor will throw heaps of (your) money to find a solution to the senseless damage to humans and their bikes.
...We can add pedestrian push button flashing lights at every intersection which will slow down the bikers at every street corner (e.g. Pinellas Trail between First Street and 31st Street).
...OR... The mayor and city council could direct the Police Dept to help save lives and bicycles by issuing a few thousand warnings and citations, (thus educating the driving public) about Bicycles, Skate Boarders, Pedestrians, Wheelchairs and Children.
...A beginning One Week push and followed by a couple of random days each month by law enforcement (actually riding bicycles with unmarked vehicles as backup) will save lives, bicycles, and tax payers dollars.
...THIS will make the city of Saint Petersburg a Truly great city for cyclists.
