We're back in Saint Paul for a ride on the notorious Summit Avenue. Chris Smith is my guide as we try to answer the dumbest question plaguing street reconstruction projects across the Twin Cities: Can bike and tree coexist? It turns out they definitely can. We talk about the potential for a lawsuit to stop a new bike trail; explain that the trees aren't threatened by the bike trail (the real threat is the deep digging to replace infrastructure); why the street and the underground infrastructure (sewer and other utilities) need to be fully reconstructed; why Summit is a vital bike connection for both Saint Paul and Minneapolis; and what inspired Chris to get political about transportation and making streets safer for people on bikes and pedestrians -- just trying to get around the city without a car.
