Bike Lanes Without Buy-In | Providence News
Description
A proposed bike lane project in Cranston, meant to link neighborhoods to the West Bay Bike Path, sparked backlash after RIDOT rolled it out without community input. Residents and officials raised concerns about tree removal, property disruption, and safety on busy roads. In response, RIDOT’s interim director pulled the plan and pledged full public outreach for future projects — though local leaders say the specific route is off the table. The episode underscores how vital community buy-in is for successful infrastructure initiatives.
