The Valley News has an article on the major changes that lie ahead for Tuck Drive.

Vehicle traffic would be one-way eastbound on an 11-foot travel lane …. Bicyclists going downhill would have their own new 5-foot-wide “contra-flow lane,” and there also would be a 4-foot sidewalk separated from the road by a curb, according to Planning Board documents.

That all makes sense from a planning point of view. And it might all fit within the width of the existing asphalt-surfaced roadway, although that seems unlikely. Here’s hoping the designers emphasize the preservation of the historic features of Tuck Drive.

(Someone, somewhere has seen fit to rename this road “Old Tuck Drive.” Is this an E911 thing? If not, it would be great to see this practice end.)
