She was not in a bike lane, there is not a bike lane on Henry Street south of Dayton where this crash occurred.
Arthur Ross, Pedestrian-Bicycle Coordinator City of Madison Traffic Engineering Division 215 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., Suite 100 PO Box 2986 Madison, WI 53701-2986 608/266-6225 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cathy Van Maren Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 8:42 AM To: BikiesSubmissions Subject: [Bikies] Supporting Linda I would also like to sign and I think there would be others around here as well. Is this right - she was in a f'ng BIKE LANE when this happened? Is there a way to get something like the Toronto door law into the Wisconsin vehicle statutes? This seems like a no brainer, especially if someone is in a marked bike lane This might be something BFW could sponsor across the state - in many communities, one or two bikie advocates talk with local law enforcement, armed with a copy of the current laws wrt bikes, and discuss enforcement, etc. This way bikies can clear up any misconceptions and law enforcement know there are people interested and watching out and possibly a team approach to educating local motorists and bicyclists. Anyway, if there's an ecard of support to sign, please let me know the address.
