Why Some residents have pointed out that given the very deteriorated condition of Route 6 in many places where the new bike lanes will go? they may simply have to drive on the shoulders – a dangerous condition for cyclists, pedestrians and motorists alike.,what,s the comment sense??

Hey, Karen is right! It is unfair to take off on the bicycle tracks. They are long overdue and if we don’t start having those special tracks atleast now, it will be too late and people will probably never shift to bikes!

I’m surprised someone isn’t talking about what’s going on when what little is being done to improve our roads is done in a manner that makes you want to tell them to get out of dogde. Rt 739 “repairs” are being done when the traffic is at a peak, leaving it’s citizens sitting for hours in hot cars, getting nowhere quickly and bankrupting the businesses who might otherwise make a living from those travelers. What happened to common sense, ingenuity, and just plain old consideration?

This article is somewat misleading. PennDOT has committed over $25 MILLION in resurfacing projects this season in Pike County alone! In addition to improving quality of life for the many Pike County tourists who bicycle, the “bike lane” project also addresses drainage issues which take their toll on our roadways. It also includes almost 5.5 miles of roadway resurfacing, not just shoulders, adding center line rumble strips (a safety feature) and more. In some areas because the road is bad, we are performing full-depth paving. I can provide a breakdown if anyone is interested, but roads included this year sections of SRs 2003, 6, 434, 2009, 739, 2001 and Interstate 84.
