[SDCBC] FW: As Follow-up, Again...

[mark wolfe]

Ah, great, K-Rails...   A man made device meant to hold trash on the 
non-traffic (aka bike side) of a path.   Brings back memories of 
construction on I-5 and Sorrento, lots of debris in the k-railed bike 
lane there. :)  This debris in the roadway thing keeps coming up. :)

Whoa...  2 way bike path on the same shoulder??   I don't know about you 
guys but I routinely hit 50+ coming down either side of the 52, and most 
roadies are in the 40+ range.  How wide is a Class I two way bike path? 
  I see some head-on collisions in the future with the speeds that are 
frequently obtained descending that hill.  Personally I'm very happy 
with the current setup, nothing like passing cars while they're stuck in 
congestion.  :)
