After months of discussion, the Midland Planning Commission has recommended adding a bicycle lane to Swede Avenue from Wackerly Street to Patrick Road with partial parking restrictions. If the proposal gains final approval of the Midland City Council, parking would be restricted from 6 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 6 p.m. on weekdays to encourage bicyclists to commute to work. Five commissioners supported the plan, while three were opposed. Commissioner Lowell McLaughlin said creating bike lanes adds to Midland's quality of life, encouraging people to bicycle and improving the safety of those who do ride.
