Description

I live in 212 Lofts and I am an avid biker, runner, walker, etc.. I LOVE the new trail that connects right from the back of my condo to cedar and the river, however when the city put it in they poured concrete in front of our garage to mark a barrier from the parking lot and bike path. The bike path starts/terminates just before our garage doors but the concrete extends out beyond the doors. Bikers have a stop sign but never stop and have ran into many a car coming out of our garage. I even had a biker come down the path and push in my mirror on my car because he thought i was being a jerk and driving on his bike path when I was just trying to get to my garage entrance... I was ticked, especially since I am a biker as well. The city will do NOTHING. I am on the board at my condo and we put up a sign to alert bikers but we really need a physical barrier that makes bikers slow down to navigate, similar to the poles at the end of the path when you are heading to the river. Basically the city has only left the width of the bike path for both cars and bikes to share, blocked in by concrete so if the biker has to bail they will mess themselves up or their bike up, or hit a car.

I love the path and we are trying to make it as safe as possible for bikers and cars alike but we need more help from someone who has more power!! The city just will not listen and I do not want anyone hurt.

Silly, risky and we need help.

Any suggestions would be fantastic.
