It's got a bike lane all the way through now and honestly isn't dangerous to bike down because the city's done a good job with traffic calming on that street, but it would be nice to have at least 1 road with lots of greenscape where bikes really are the priority mode of transport -- In Santa Monica, I’d like to see Arizona turned into a bike blvd — perhaps overly influence by the fact that Arizona’s the street I bike down most often.
