Martin, Thanks for the update.
I guess no signage can avert accidents caused by illegal maneuvers, but perhaps as the accidents amass at that site the proposal for an alternate entrance to that lot should be put on the table. There is no reason cars should be entering or exiting at that spot- it is a dangerous intersection and corner without it. There should be an entrance/exit to the lot off of John Nolen. I know there will be lots of belly-aching about the inconvenience/cost of this to car drivers and construction crews; but really, it is only a matter of time before a kid or adult walking or biking on the path gets killed by a car at that lot entrance/exit. And then we'll all feel really dumb for not acting sooner. -India ----- Original Message ----- From: Martin Lund <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 9:24 am Subject: [Bikies] Another bike/car collision at Nolan/Blair/Willy To: bikies <[email protected]> > This past Sunday morning at proximately 9:45 a female cyclist was > struck by what was described as a black SUV .
