<br>It seems like we talk about the LJ Colony Drive/Rose Canyon bike path discontinuity on this list every 6 months or so. As far as I know there is no plan.<br><br>I'm sure it's on Kathy's wish list. But even if the city (or whoever) said they have, say, $500k to fix it, I'm not sure what could be done. One ideas is a "fly over", but that would cost millions, I'm sure.<br>
<br>Extending the path north east parallel to LJCD between the sidewalk and the RR track, and having a sane entrance at one of the intersections on LJCD might work. Maybe. Basically, this would formalize the current "use the sidewalk" method, but avoid having to use the actual sidewalk, except to cross it once.<br>
<br>Or here's a new idea. Reconfigure the intersection to allow U turns right there (and no right on red for n/b I-5 traffic headed for LJCD). Then cyclists could get into the left lane as if to make a legal U turn, and then proceed on the green arrow but abort the U turn mid stream to get onto the path. Not totally elegant but probably better that what we have now and perhaps affordable.<br>

- Ride under the bridge and make a U-Turn at the light at Gilman and I-5<br>

Unfortunately, as part of the newly rebuilt Gilman/I-5 intersection <br>
"they" hanged a "No U Turn" sign from the traffic signal.<br>

I guess one could ride up to the Park and Ride and turn around there or maybe on up a mile or so to the next traffic light. Overall, it seems like there is a real problem there, I don't see an easy fix but a fix is definitely needed.<br>
<br>
What do the folks in the know say about about plans for this region???<br>
