It does prohibit the use of bicycles on bicycle paths. A vehicle is defined as anything that can carry a person down the highway. It's so broad that they made an exception for wheelchairs, but they don't make one for bicycles.KWebbhttp://www.uark.edunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-89200015446853996632010-08-14T09:43:46.535-05:002010-08-14T09:43:46.535-05:00Steve, I would add problems #6 and #7 which are al...Steve, I would add problems #6 and #7 which are also illustrated by your photos: #6 MUPs should be paved with a surface that is pleasant and functional to walk and ride on, and not with expansion-jointed sidewalks, which are neither. #7 Well-designed and engineered paths just look better than this one, which is strikingly ugly. A tree or two, a bench here and there, a shade structure once in a while, a drinking fountain, all these would help much more than the artsy-fartsy chicanes that accomplish nothing.John Romeo Alphahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289456379789026152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-78683622326180979472010-08-13T10:00:04.250-05:002010-08-13T10:00:04.250-05:00I wood have to ponder the "second rate" ...I wood have to ponder the "second rate" appellation butt sure as hell they are fraught avec compromise/s!Chuck Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135578486955751337noreply@blogger.com
