It is the part of N. Main that curves around and goes uphill to the Whole Foods shopping center that makes me hesitate to bicycle from the train station to my house. That entire stretch leading up to Olney is dangerous for cyclists or people on scooters. A redesign would be huge.

I don’t even like using the sidewalk on that section of road. Popping up to benefit if you can handle the steeper hill is the way to go. I normally go down Park and then pop up meeting street to get to benefit.

Thanks! I might try that. I have been studying the different cross streets such as Howland, Church and Star to figure out their grades. I think they must range from "impossible" to "forgetaboutit"!

The steeper the hill the shorter it is 😀 still need to get to the same elevation eventually.

I think all of those streets are about equal. Meeting is going to be the same. Main and benefit are both flat and parallel for that stretch, so there’s no real change between them.
