> I was wondering if you could put out a press release to all media
> sources stating the Southwest Bike Path is NOT OPEN FOR USE. The
> public needs to know that they need to stay out of the Contractor's
> way. I don't expect the path to be open to mid to late July. The
> City is planning an opening ceremony for about July 21st.

> The Contractor is having a more difficult time trying to work around all
> the
> people walking, running, riding bikes down the corridor. They are going
> to
> start paving more of the path tomorrow. The Contractor (and myself) are
> worried that bicycles will rut the fresh asphalt. We really don't have
> the
> means to prevent people from getting on the trail. Currently we have
> "Path
> Closed" signs and barricades all over the jobsite. The public just
> ignores
> these signs. It is a safety issue as much as it is an issue about the
> public destroying the Contractor's work.

> Any help is much appreciated.
