Fair usage of public roads is fine, the main issue at hand is that the design of the new bike lines…Read More on Jewel Ave is just poor and unsafe for all parties involved. On the eastbound Jewel Ave road heading towards Main St, the bike like is just haphazardly running along next to the merge lane to the GCP westbound lane, meaning vehicle traffic cuts directly across the new bike lane when getting onto a highway. This is very dangerous since because there are only 2 lanes now on the eastbound Jewel road the right lane becomes the de-facto bus lane for the Q65. That bus moves pretty quick in general. Any driver attempting to make the merge onto the GCP west with a bike rider directly in the merge/bike lane combined with a fast, slow to brake bus behind them will be hard pressed to slow down in time and not cause some kind of accident. Why would anybody design that kind of traffic pattern, it's dangerous and reckless. It's not much better going on the Westbound Jewel Ave Road since that bike lane also merges with the GCP exit ramp with cars exiting from highway speed. It is not a safe traffic pattern at all for anyone. Aside from that, the westbound bike lane just sort ends abruptly there as well, leaving bicyclists basically at the end of an off-ramp without a clear traffic lane. They really should have thought out the placement and layout before somebody gets hurt, especially as the weather becomes better and we see more mixed usage on the road.

Mary, I follow the rules of the road. If I wear a helmet will you and other drivers stop speeding…Read More and running red lights?
An average of 17 cyclists are killed every year by drivers. not once has a driver been injured when hitting a cyclist. Do you really think we're not paying attention?
You're using your car to get somewhere. That's fine. I'm using a bike to get somewhere. Please respect my right to use the road.

No not thinly veiled attempts. Real attempts. When bikers start adhering to the rules of the road,…Read More wearing helmets and paying attention they'll be taken seriously. Until then ... got to the park!
