Has anybody tried to contact the owner of this property?
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ross, Arthur Sent: Monday, February 13, 2012 4:47 PM To: bikies Subject: Re: [Bikies] Blocked Connection Between East Mifflin and Yahara Bike Path Tim wrote < whoever is "clearing" the snow has pushed the snow into the way of the path that allows a bike to get from the Yahara bike path into the parking lot that continues behind the Washington Square building and at Dickinson becomes East Mifflin. This is a heavily bike corridor and should not be blocked. You have to walk your bike over ice slush and railroad tracks to get to the path.> Kathryn responded < I thought the parking lot/Yahara connection was private property.> Kathryn is correct, the parking lot is private property and the city does not have an easement to allow public use of this parking lot for bicyclists and/or pedestrians. Both the Bike Route and the Mifflin Street Bicycle Boulevard connect to/from the Yahara River Path via Dickinson and Dayton Streets. When that property is redeveloped at some point in the future the city will request an easement for ped/bike access to continue the Mifflin Street alignment to the Yahara River Path for pedestrians and bicyclists.
