I enjoyed that article and was going to post it if gerv hadn't. It made me look at streets and roads a little differently. I live a few yards from a stroad. Local activists, including myself, have long been trying to transform it into a street. Those efforts have been somewhat effective--recently a striped bike lane was added. But I almost always continue to ride on parallel side streets instead.

Now Marohn is making me rethink the whole thing. Maybe we should give in and make the stroad into a road. That is, make it a high speed road mainly for cars, and direct pedestrians and cyclists to the adjacent streets. I feel like a traitor saying that!

However, it isn't going to be easy, and might be impossible, to change most stroads into roads.
