Side stripping is a waste of money and I believe what is driving this is politics and nothing else...that and nonsense about liability issues. So if we need stripping then I am going demand better lighting on all multi-modla paths. I also want better signage warning me of hazards ahead such as the puddling of water of low spots on the paths and tunnels directions, and while were at it signs informing me that pedestrians are in the area as well as cyclists. Further I want neon signs erected above the pathways to alert me both of heavy traffic and approx travel time on the pathway due to traffic/construction problems and further........... Ialso suggest that The Village publish a monthly report of the safest and riskiest times of the day to be driving on the multi-modal pathways




Dog gone rubicon - excellent ideas. And I'd be willing, along with thousands of others, to see our monthly fees increased by at least $100 in support.
