A proposal to make Second Street in downtown Scottsdale pedestrian and bicycle friendlier while removing parallel parking on its south side drew praise and concerns from Scottsdale City Council members during a work study session on the project last week.
The plan proposed separating from the street with a two-way bike lane along the south side between Drinkwater and Goldwater boulevards, lining it with trees and man-made canopies that could change colors. The plan also includes upgrading the pavement to make it more natural to walk on if the street was closed for festivals.
Council’s big concern was the loss of parking spaces on the south side of the street.
