So, my (personal) conclusions: nice trail, fine for fitness/family, but in terms of increasing bicycle transportation/multimodal transportation in the local area, not effective -- mostly, because it does not go between highly populated areas and stores/shops/offices. This kind of path in a more central business area and/or between high density housing (apartments/condos) would absolutely help our local area switch to less driving (IMHO). #bikepolicy

Of particular interest is I accidentally ended up on Alisos Street, which is a *very recent* project which converted a residential street into basically a bicycle thoroughfare (sharrows but with intersections which make it so cars can't use the street as a shortcut route, but local residents still have access). This seems like an awesome thing for any gridded city.... https://santabarbaraca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Public%20Works/Transportation%20Planning/Alisos_Street_Community_Paseos_Features_1.pdf #BikeTooter #BikePolicy #SantaBarbara

Pavement nightmare at the other location 😬 -- I'd likely go out of my way to avoid that street entirely. #bikepolicy #transportation

Well, THAT explains a lot... Their high frequency crash location has a bike lane, but there's massive amounts of car traffic and two merging lanes (one merging out, another merging in). Too many places car drivers likely to ignore or fail to look left/right before changing lanes. #bikepolicy #transportation #Durango #map
