Another Stupid Idea
First it was the "just raise your hand if you want to cross the street" and now we have the the invisible force field green boxes. So someone coming from Eastern Oregon or East Overshoe, Maryland is going to know that? All of these ridiculous rules that you people make up just give bicyclists a false sense of security. I am waiting for the inevitable fatality because someone from out of town didn't get the memo.
I am not against having a safe and viable environment for bicyclists. However you can't make intersections and narrow streets that are dangerous even for automobiles safe for bicycles just because City Hall decreed it.
From reading some of the bicyclists that wrote in on the original Sam Adams blog site, none of them want any of the things being done for them bad enough to pay taxes for it. I don't want another cent of my taxes going for this ill planned, dangerous and expensive venue that a tiny fraction of the people use.
