Bike Hit On Bedford & Spring
Ouch! I feel sorry for the kid, but hopefully next time he'll wear a helmet.
Unfortunately the Traffic Calming workshop for the downtown neighborhood held recently was a joke. Very few treatments were proposed. Little to no attention was given to any of the main roads downtown. One bike lane, few intersection treatments. The group actually got pretty agressive with the group paid to conduct the study over it. Time to go back to the drawing board and make the downtown more friendly to anyone not wrapped in a ton of steel and glass.

I'm curious if the biker was jay-riding.
Know what's weird? This is the Advocate headline:
"Cyclist collides with bus on Bedford Street"
and it's obviously a typo.
It sounds like a violent crash:
"A bicycle rider traveling on Spring Street smashed into a purple Saturn sedan Tuesday on Bedford Street, leaving a crumpled bike and spots of blood amid shattered glass.
The rider, whom police have yet to identify, was transported to Stamford Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police at the scene."
That's from the Advocate article.
I attended one of these sessions a few months ago to discuss the possibility of installing sidewalks on soundview avenue to make walking access to Cummings beach easier. It was vehemently opposed my the elderly citizens whose property would have been affected because, in their words, they are "too old to pave them when it snows". Well, there you have it. So much for making Stamford a more pedestrian friendly place.
