That's why, short of any realistic effort on the part of making grade-level any safer, I support every bit of new infrastructure that provides alternatives. Not to mention bridges are cool.

My mother-in-law was killed on a bike, on a designated bikeway, so I no longer entertain the academic approach to bike safety. Cars are an endemic danger that we are not serious enough about dealing with.

I'm all for making things inconvenient for cars, but MDOT is not. And until I see any realistic path to that, I'm all for paths that keep cars away from people.

I'm for the the B2B trail too, even though Huron River drive would make a lot more sense as a place to bike.

We'll never get proper bike/ped infrastructure at grade at that location. Between ambulance routes and the M-14 on/off-ramp, that intersection will never be safe (I lived right on that corner for years, and it's only gotten worse since).

I was just on this bridge, and thought it was pretty cool.

Wow. Never would've guessed that one, but makes all kinds of sense. Love it.

WTF 100+ shots?

I think it's mostly about convincing people that the bar can and should be raised and that you're committed to helping it get there too. Which I *know* you can do Haf.

Look, the work just isn't there yet. I can see the idea, but we're not pushing ourselves. Take a step back and ask; does this design actually solve the problem? Let's workshop this together — there's potential here, but we need to push beyond the first ideas.
