Back in 2011, the editors of the Sun Gazette wrote about the bike parking for 300 that was to be installed at Wakefield High School
"We’re dubious that even a fraction of those spaces will find themselves filled on any given day, once the new school is constructed. Cut out (or print out) this item and save it for 2013 or 2014, when the new school will be up and running. We’ll see how this prediction turns out."
Well, it's 2013 and the school opened this past summer. Does anyone know if it ended up with all that bike parking? Can anyone swing by for a photo on a school day?
My kids goes there. Sadly, I think the SG was correct. My daughter walks the mile+ on most days rather than ride. The two reasons I get most often from her and other students: 1) Wakefield's on a big hill, and 2) there's no protected bike lane up Geo. Mason Drive (the main road to school). So it's either ride the sidewalks (w/many walkers) or duke it out in the sharrows with cars going 40+ mph.
Will try to swing by for a pic.
