Since the buses which drive on Pico all continue on to the roads which cyclists are now forced to use, the possibility of bus-bike confrontations is in no way diminished, only supplemented by the added likelihood of far more bike-car interactions. Really your proposal to have a hired engineer study such an "obvious" situation is silly, especially in a budget climate in which we are continually threatened with draconian service cuts.<br /><br />Occam's Razor suggests your motivation has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with liability. "I don't care if more cyclists are killed or maimed, just as long as it's not on our road."<br /><br />I recommend joining SF2G one morning for a commute down the Peninsula one of these fine fall mornings. You'd save yourself tens of thousands of dollars on consultants.djconnelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01484858820878605035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616818704326975625.post-73186015831946157422010-11-09T13:48:05.811-08:002010-11-09T13:48:05.811-08:00What an interesting characterization of my attempt...What an interesting characterization of my attempt to communicate with you and of yourself.
