Diane -

Greeniculous! Nick made three valid points:

1) The right turn from southbound Interstate to Greeley is redundant. The same destination can be reached by turning right on Going about 3/4 of a mile up the hill. There are no business or residences on the east side of Greeley in between Interstate and Going that need to be accessed by that turn. Note that the left turn from northbound Interstate to Greeley remains open. Please, look at a map and verify to yourself that Nick's statement was correct.

2) The speed limit is currently being violated with great regularity by drivers, on Interstate and elsewhere. I can personally attest to this fact because I often drive. Moving at the prevailing speed of traffic, I'm often breaking the law. I do it because almost everyone else does. But why is that ok? It shouldn't be.

3) No one is attempting to defend law breaking cyclists.

You say "Instead of arguing why not work together to come up with a solution for both sides?" I agree. But why is it that, in commenting on a blog post on the subject of potential solutions, you have to rant about some fool that you saw running a red light? I can give you countless anecdotes about drivers doing dumb things, including running red lights, but that doesn't help us find solutions. Please, follow your own advice and help to do something productive.

So, back to the original topic of the post: Thank you Roger Geller and Sam Adams for working to implement these changes. I look forward to seeing how well they work in practice. It's a step in the right direction (but just a step, we have a long way to go.)
