Then when all traffic is stopped and idling and spewing the noxious fumes into the atmosphere, the rider then RIDES the bike across the street in the pedestrian crosswalk. I'm guessing you're one of those because you thought I was complaining that they didn't use the walk light implyingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844475919675784308.post-64273396825249382032011-11-19T20:06:37.183-05:002011-11-19T20:06:37.183-05:00touchétouchéAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844475919675784308.post-72825045889802250512011-11-19T14:04:21.127-05:002011-11-19T14:04:21.127-05:00Yes bikes tick me off when they go and cross the s...Yes bikes tick me off when they go and cross the street when the walk light isn't on.

I've often thought about how it would be relatively simple to create a bikeway here, given the locations and quantities of wooded areas along this corridor. <br /><br />I can't attend the meeting on Tue Nov 29. As an alternate way to submit ideas, or letters of support, would it be best to email Bill Warner, with a copy to Jonah Center, or do joseph getterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06532411815252586302noreply@blogger.com
