Reply to comment by Sarcofaygo in Brett Smiley looks to change / eliminate bicycle lane on South Water Street by Locksmith-Pitiful

This has already been answered in providence's great streets plan. Federal and state guidelines dictate roads have to fit trailers, garbage trucks, plows, etc.

The real question though is: what about everyone else who doesn't drive? They literally don't even have a lane.

Part of why that Eaton Bike lane didn't stick was because Great Streets failed account for the road not having a consistent width. I'm sure there's room to learn from mistakes but that's a mistake that was already pretty avoidable.
