Description

There is a new, completely dark, impossible-to-see-in-the-dark-unless-you-know-its-there barrier on this southern portion of the closed road in Goodwin Park. The offending barrier is right where the placemark is on this map. It needs reflectors if its going to be put there to close the road. I almost ran right into it tonight on my bike commute home from work.

It's pretty clear this is due to the auto-centric elves currently changing up what is a calm, alternative, safe commute and leisure route for bicycles and walkers into a route for distracted, dangerous, non-stop evening car traffic during the Festival of Lights.

I support the Festival of Lights in the Park, but maybe it could be time to at least start thinking about making this less of a car-centric event and more of a walk or sled through type of event?
