Jersey City needs chicanes
Google "chicane."
Most of the time chicanes are used to slow down vehicular traffic. As long as Jersey City is not going enforce laws to stop speeding electric bikes on sidewalks, we need sidewalk "chicanes" in neighborhoods with vulerable pedestrians.
They work. You can find chicanes all over the world as effective tools to make it impractical for bikes to speed along predestrian sidewalks. They come in many forms. Anyone with professional training in traffic safety could offer practical designs.
The sidewalks along both sides of Kennedy, north and south of Duncan, would be a good place to start.
There are seniors-only buildings, schools and playgrounds all around that intersection. Right now electric bikes use those sidewalks as raceways, often speeding faster the parallel roadway traffic. Must we wait for a bike vs pedestrian tragedy that a sidewalk chicane could prevent?
Let's start installing chicanes along that dangerous stretch of sidewalk.
