However, there must be a balance for all users of the system, and this letter from the GABAC has seemed to enflame the community further against cyclists.  I am a transportation planner by profession, I have been on the GABAC and have attended many meetings, so I consider myself an advocate and supportive of multi-modal solutions as appropriate.  Every roadway project study team I participate on I advocate for sensible bike provisions.

To oppose something like the SInging Highway, one of two in the country and easily considered a gem in the urban experience, I believe is short sighted.  It has already stirred up opposition in the state's largest newspaper - does that seem like a good thing? Is it bringing us together to a common understanding to reach common solutions or is it continuing to enflame past arguments and harden positions?
