From the Wilmington News Journal (

"The third [solution], set up by Rep. Joe Booth, R-Georgetown, made the difference - using the bus-bike lane of Del. 1 as a third lane near the often-clogged intersection with Del. 24." (4th paragraph)
This is exactly the same area where Katarzyna Reteruk was killed. Lights, helmets and inattentive driving/bicycling probably all played a role in the crash, but the biggest issue is the removal of a bike lane in a heavily-congested section of highway that is frequently travelled by those not familiar with the area.
Is "improved" traffic flow in a tourist area worth the cost of a life?
