Making Sherwood Hall Lane a more complete street will benefit all users of the road. By reducing the travel lane width, adding a center turn lane, and adding bike lanes, the road will be safer for everyone, including local residents. Residents are opposed to the plan, primarily because of the loss of the parking. A great deal of space is devoted to free parking that very few people use. The same arguments for opposing the bike lanes and retaining on-street parking that were used to oppose the King St. bike plan are being used to oppose the Sherwood Hall Lane plan. Many, many people use this road who do not live in the immediate area and they should to weigh in on this decision.

Sherwood Hall Lane repaving - Proposed cross sections
Below are proposed cross sections for 6 segments of the Sherwood Hall Lane repaving project that was the subject of a meeting on Wed., March 12. The major concern expressed at the community meeting was removal of parking. As you can see below, some of the proposed profiles, do not include parking. Even though very few motorists park on the road, residents want the option of parking for guests and overflow from their driveways. Please contact the Mt. Vernon District office, Senator Toddy Puller, and Delegate Scott Surovell and voice your support for bike lanes and traffic calming on Sherwood Hall Lane.
