There is a school being built between Bell Avenue and Grace Avenue. The city, engineers and planners closed the bike trail without any forethought to bicyclist safety. Another cyclist was hurt yesterday because there is no safe alternative route. The street along this part of the trail does not have a shoulder or bike lane. We have to cross traffic in dangerous locations to travel on these sketchy streets. When its dark (the times we ride) visibility is terrible so riding along the edge of the road with no shoulder is super tough. My bike is damaged because of it! Terrible planning and forethought! Maybe if you rode like you preach, you would understand. But what do you care?
