“Update and use EXISTING BIKE PATH along the river trail. It has been there for years.
What taxes do bikers pay? No gasoline, no parking fees, no car inspection, no car insurance, no tolls, so, they do not contribute anything to pay for upkeep of roads, no snow removal, no civil services.
I wish someone would conduct a study of the number of bikes versus the number of cars. Then the percentage of car versus bike should be used to calculate WHO SHOULD HAVE PRIORITY on road and lane. That would be the fairest measure for who deserves public road.
Plus another factor is the weather and topography that drops bike usage but not cars, bus, other vehicles.”
