When I pushed for bike lanes here years ago while chair of the local Transportation Commission, it was with the understanding that a travel lane on both streets would be dropped. However, current T&ES leadership insists traffic counts are too high for that. They are well within FHWA guidelines, but the Old Town Civic Association is notoriously anti-bike (they're responsible for the ticketing of people who bike on Union Street). I gathered that neither T&ES nor local advocates cared to engage them in a fight for a safe design.

FYI- both Prince & Cameron are one-way. Although I also suggested a two-way conversion, my last conversation with staff indicated that no such conversion would take place. Unless that's changed, the illustrations in this article should probably be corrected.
