For our advocacy groups to start pushing for safer park paths?Seems strange that Rosa Escareño is allowing 100's of vehicles to drive and park on property and paths specifically meant for non vehicle use Also if any of our esteemed bike lawyers could shed light on the laws regarding specific use paths in the inevitable event a vehicle contacts a cyclist or pedestrian?Personally I'm getting tired of having to avoid vehicles on the path and getting honked at yelled at and called names while using…See More

Lakefront trail is lost

The lakefront path is virtually unridable Police standing at entrance to Montrose/Foster telling drivers it's full and closed so drivers are of course using the path as an extension of Lakeshore drive Hopefully Rosa does something about it before it turns into 31st street with people getting killed because vehicles are allowed everywhere Be safe out there 3 days leftSee More
