Is the New Bike Lane Law Unfair to Center City Residents?

Second of two parts: Bike lanes are a contentious issue in the city, especially on Pine and Spruce Streets, the busiest in the city for cyclists. Mayor Cherelle Parker recently signed a law completely banning any vehicle from stopping in a bike lane. Cyclists say this keeps them safe, so they don't have to swerve into traffic to avoid parked cars. But some Center City residents say it's absurd to prevent them from easily accessing their homes. In the second of a two-part conversation, host Trenae Nuri talks with Leo Levinson, president of the Center City Residents’ Association, about this change in Philly’s traffic policy. Listen to yesterday's Feb. 24 episode for a different perspective from the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia.
