NEWS READER: Work begins Monday on protected bike lanes along Elm Avenue, a project city council approved after two years of debate. The lanes will replace one lane of parking on each side between Main Street and the river. Local business owners had worried about losing customers who drive, so the city has added forty short term parking spaces on side streets. A city study last year found that most shoppers on Elm arrive on foot or by transit, not by car. Construction will happen at night to keep traffic moving during the day, and the work should be finished before the first snowfall. Cyclists are asked to use the Oak Street route until then.
