But seriously, I'm hearing from a LOT of people how surprised they are at the cost of bike/ped infrastructure.SRTC Staffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07712647581551158820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631817465149954711.post-62433632774832151582010-11-04T19:57:57.988-07:002010-11-04T19:57:57.988-07:00Haha.

It's too bad policies have encouraged this way of thinking for a long time.<br /><br />It's well known that the safer you make cycling and walking areas, the more people participate. Many avoid these healthy activities because of safety risks. <br /><br />Besides that, did EVERYONE play the game, yet? You know, the whatsedoesit transportation game? Bike and ped infrastructure is SO CHEAP to build and maintain compared to ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!vanillajanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04900731824539473698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631817465149954711.post-17872704697140593942010-11-04T15:20:28.717-07:002010-11-04T15:20:28.717-07:00It's not just the close calls that bother me (...It's not just the close calls that bother me (okay I guess it does bother me when I have near-death experiences), but that every time someone almosts runs me over, they then feel they have to yell at me for having the audacity to be in the crosswalk. Every once in a while I'll get someone who apologizes and says they didn't see the walk signal, but in almost six years downtown, that's only happened a couple times.SRTC Staffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07712647581551158820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631817465149954711.post-27541108808666864542010-11-04T14:34:08.028-07:002010-11-04T14:34:08.028-07:00Having worked in the downtown core since 1992 I ca...Having worked in the downtown core since 1992 I can vouch for the fact that pedestrians cannot depend crossing safely, even when using the crosswalks correctly. I've lost track of how many close calls I've had. Too many drivers seem to only pay attention to other cars and not other objects (i.e. humans, bicylists) in or on the street.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631817465149954711.post-68633825689710499812010-11-04T12:40:24.440-07:002010-11-04T12:40:24.440-07:00How thoughtful of Mr. Wiman to be concerned about ...How thoughtful of Mr. Wiman to be concerned about Spokane taxpayers, even though he pays property tax up in Deer Park.<br /> - VenturaNothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814430696364049920noreply@blogger.com
