Guilford takes you right into the heart of downtown too, plus it connects directly with the separated Inner Harbor bike lanes. If that bike lane does not extend past 30th, it sounds to me like it is intended as "'Round Hopkins" infrastructure, but then again I'm really not that much of a fan of painted bike lanes anyway. Of course, I'm fine with separated infrastructure, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for that to be built through a north/south corridor. Otherwise, my preference is a more bike friendly and less auto friendly Guilford Ave. sharrow over a St. Paul bike lane. I don't know.
