There may be a way to provide safe bike lanes on upper Orange Street without removing on-street parking.

Recommended Option 2 for Study:

Bike lanes could be placed directly next to the adjacent curbs and raised up to sidewalk level. The bike lanes could be configured as pairs of bike lanes on either side of the street, or as a two-way cycle track on the northside of Orange Street. Similar conditions exist along the bike lanes on Edgewood Avenue at West Rock Ave and along Water Street. A foot or two of grass can be removed curbside to provide wider bike lanes that are 5 or 6 feet wide.
If these alternatives have not already been studied, it might be worth looking into them as an option.
Here is an article for background on the project and the City's current plan for the street:
