Thanks Mitch! I'll take a little of the credit since after the crash and unfortunate death of the bicyclist in June at Baldwin and E Wilson, I asked TE to make that stretch of the bike path safer with better signage and pavement markings. I've also been getting ideas from residents about how to make the intersections at Division/Eastwood and Atwood/Dunning more bike and ped friendly. My goal is to improve the Capital City Trail through District 6 from Blair to Olbrich park/Starkweather Creek. TE has some ideas to resolve the John Nolen bike path/ Machinery Row driveway conflicts, money is in future cap budgets to look at this intersection.
I know that the traffic committee of MNA and SASYNA council want to collaborate on this issue as well. Your suggestions welcome.

Wilson Street. Have you noticed the new signs on the E. Wilson segment of the Capital City Trail? I think the people who put them there deserve some applause. The "shared road" sign helps explain what the sharrows are for, and that's a good thing. I'm particularly impressed with the graphic on the "bike boulevard" signs, which show a mother riding along with a kid in the rear seat. This portrays biking as a civilized activity performed by normal adults -- exactly the image we need to project. I'm looking forward to seeing these signs on E. Mifflin, too. _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
