so walk faster

I went to this location using google street view (though I didn't need to, being familiar with this area). There are 2 paths along much of Mississippi River Blvd. One side of the path is for foot traffic, the other side is for bikes. There are signs pointing this out not far from the location listed. The bikes have a right to be there!

I see many times while driving by or while riding my bicycle pedestrians walking/jogging in the bike lane. Everyone should remember that when in doubt, the path closest to the river is the pedestrian path. What also bothers me is seeing bicycles in the road on Mississippi River Blvd. The boulevard isn't wide enough for both cars and bicycles. I know bicycles have a right to a full lane, but when they can't keep up with traffic, passing them can be dangerous on the boulevard and technically, we're not allowed to pass them (double solid yellow line).

I wish people would just use common sense. I bike and drive on the blvd. I also bike on the path when I have my daughter with me, because we go slow, 10-12mph. But please, if you want to do a time trial or training for Tour De France on your carbon bike, stick to the road. If there is a road in St Paul where bikes and cars can and should co-exists, this is the one. The speed limit is 25! Maybe part of the problem is the 30-35mph traffic using it as a commuter street at rush hour? Perhaps if the drivers followed the speed limit, more bikes would go off the path.

Old issue.

Thanks for fixing this issue!
