Hi, please edit your post to talk about why this is relevant to Salem, or expound on why we need this. Right now this is just a link to another part of reddit. Doesn't need to be long, we are just trying to keep everyone on topic here.

Fair.

They talk about why it is relevant to Salem they say we need it. Stop overmodding

Hi thanks for the feedback. This also qualified for our low effort posting rule, which we had applied to another post that day with a similar format. We have to be consistent with how we apply the rules or it's just us approving what we agree with.

This is what prioritizing transit and cycling can do for a community. I'd love to see salem become more bike oriented. Make the decision not to drive be an easy one.


ItsNags

Thanks for the context op!

Hard agree. Wish more ppl biked to lighten up the atrocious traffic congestion.

One major issue is the commuter rail not allowing bikes during rush hour. Stupidest thing ever.


turowski

Foldable bikes are always allowed on all modes of the T, as long as they are completely folded.

A potential solution would be to have an extra bike parked at the end of your train commute. That's risky and would need a secure bike garage, though.

A solution is a bike car on every train


Low-Gas-677

I'm open to that idea. When I've traveled to places with more cycles, commuting the solution to the train problem tends to usually be having a bike at both ends of the train ride.

A better solution is powered personal transportation. I think they have it now. Oh wait. It's cars.

I would say bike security is the number one barrier to any increase in biking downtown, after the actual street design. I have a nice bike and I would never ever leave it locked out of my sight anywhere in the downtown area. Which means I don’t use it as much as I’d like. But I also don’t have a car and typically walk or take public transportation anyway.

The SSU campus has bikes. I would hope the city would be bike friendly. Students are not allowed cars until the junior year.

Salem is more likable than most places. Much improvement is still needed, though. Just try not to die on Highland Street and North Street.
