Although I disagree with the opinion expressed here, I will give KMSH credit for using a straightforward and meaningful subject line rather than the nonsensical "Fact-Lite Screed" (huh???) subject line that has been perpetuated even though the message content throughout this lengthy thread has been about lighting and bicycle safety. That said, I think that perhaps part of the problem is one of nomenclature for this transportation facility. Calling it a "path" evokes a quaint and bucolic imagery that simply isn't applicable to the situation It's not a "path," it's a highway for bicycles. Call it the "Bikie Beltway" or something similar and people will understand the necessity of appropriately-designed lighting that will enhance traffic safety without unnecessarily directing light upward and adding to nighttime light pollution. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://link.mail2web.com/mail2web _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
