Description

The Traffic Dept often talks about plans to better connect Downtown to the East Shore/Morris Cove and Lighthouse Point for bike riders and bike commuters. One of the safer ways to get downtown is to cut through East Shore Park to Connecticut Ave -- avoiding Route 1 -- then continue on the sidewalk over the Tomlinson Bridge. HOWEVER, it is really difficult to get through the entrance/exit of the park to Connecticut Ave. There is a large gate that is always closed. You can pass through narrow bollards to the left of the gate but must dismount. There is also a large slab of rock partially obstructing this narrow pass-through. If you have a trailer (with a child) it is impossible to get through. Can this gate be replaced by bollards that bikes (with trailers!) can pass through??
