The new bike lanes in Center City Philadelphia running up Spruce and Pine Street from river to river which literally showed up out of nowhere last month are so amazing for so many reasons…

1. What a green thing to do for Philly Mayor Nutter, especially with the budget crisis, union negotiations and all the other drama unfolding. I love how you just did it on a trail basis and didn’t get everyone with an opinion involved. Way to get the job done MN!

2. I think the value of my real estate  just went up! I live on Spruce  and the 2 lane traffic that was speeding through Society Hill has slowed down making it safer and quieter!

3. I think it shows what a civilized city we are to outsiders and to each other. Not only are we not driving in the bike lanes, we are not making a stink about it either.

4. With 28  colleges in the city, this is not only a selling point for the college recruiters, but a staying point after graduation.

5.  Whether your a Boomer, Generation X or a Millennial, one thing  we all agree on is we love Center City for it’s “walkability” (#5 in the USA ). Now we can to that add its “ridability!”
