been severe flooding. it includes a link to a video you will want to
see. Below that is a reply.

I don't know if anyone's got a good policy on this, but in your
jurisdiction, are salmon allowed:
(a) in bike lanes?
(b) in contra flow lanes?
(c) only when spawning?
(d) yes, but only on segways?
Watch the video:

And are they required to wear helmets only when juveniles, or at all
times?
Just asking.

If I might suggest...
1, we have not heard from the Salmon Coalition for Equal Rights on this, so
I would suggest that we need to make a plan to sit down and meet with them
over this issue.
a. Said plan should include all options, like:
1. setting up a guard rail to keep the fish (do they mind being generalized
like that?) from being run over by a careless cyclist.
2. Signs to make people aware that fish may be in the lane
3. Salmon Safety courses to increase their awareness and their safety
practices in order to make each fish as safe as possible.
4. Not sure about this, but I am thinking that they would be absolutely in
favor of Salmon signs that would steer them away from the Sushi
districts.. Maybe we can bring that up at the meeting...
As far as previous policies on this, I have no suggestions.. Perhaps we
will have to re-invent the wheel??
