In summer 2020, in a meeting before the Board of Trustees, BPC Chairperson Matthew Schuerman requested that the village paint sharrows on the Emerson, Thompson and Radnor approaches to PVC (and erect corresponding signage) to give middle school kids a sense that they belong on the road riding their bikes to school. DPW Superintendent Balbi said he did not think that sharrows were very helpful. We need to follow up with research showing that while they are not as helpful as independent bike lanes, they are a useful strategy when funds and space are limited.
