Comment on Bikeway Undercrossing at Fletcher Drive by Joe Linton

It’’s a really good point, Sue (is that Sue of Sue+Liebe?)

Officially the path will be a multi-use path – and bicyclists need to yield to peds. In the long run we need to either learn to share well, or to build wider paths.

What do other folks think?

Comment on Bikeway Undercrossing at Fletcher Drive by Sue in Los Angeles

We have already explored the new path under Fletcher, and it’s such a welcome improvement over what was before. The rest of the path should be equally wonderful when they resurface all those breaks in the asphalt and (hopefully) the hazardous storm drain dips. Here is my big worry, though: we are pedestrians, not bikers; specifically, an over-60 walker, a wheelchair user, and an arthritic dog. I don’t know how safe we will feel on this new bicycle speedway, with bikers whizzing in both directions on their beautiful new freeway. And what about the myriad Frogtown residents who use the current path for strolling at all hours of the day–this includes many elderly people, small children, and dog-walkers. I sincerely hope the bike riders will see themselves as part of this larger community of riverside users and ride considerately, allowing the rest of us our space and safety.

Please take a look at my blog in reference to Woodbury Creek in Pasadena. I’ve also incorporated some of the memories on this blog into my search for Pasadena’s lost creek. On my blog there are several entries regarding Woodbury/Mill/Wilson’s Creek, so please look for them.
