More North American cities should give their primary bicycling corridors proper names (like Vancouver BC does).
@bikepedantic Does the “Hobo Path” in Medford count as a proper name?
@bikepedantic I just always described this route as “Middlesex turnpike” because… it was the Middlesex Turnpike.
@shadow I'm altering to the Middlesex Turnbike and posting signs tomrrow
@qkslvrwolf 100%. we only have nomenclature for facility types, not for a route that may cover a variety of those types.
And if we did that, we need nomenclature for 'paths' or whatever that are entirely all-ages quality for bicycling
@bikepedantic heck yeah! Trying to push this idea in NoVA.
@mrpresident1776 please don't tell arlington, they'll do exquisitely crafted names and signs in lieu of facilities
Here in Camberville, telling someone to *follow signs for the (i dunno) Matt Damonway* would be easier than saying, *take Mass Ave to Porter, take the dutch left onto Somerville Ave, then a right on Beacon St and follow that through Inman Sq where it turns into Hampshire St for reasons*
