A. These will be stolen. B. These will be run over and not replaced. C. The rope will get caught on a vehicle and yank out the whole run
What they need is either the heavy railguards or concrete barriers every five feet in order to really be effective.

I was hit by an atv on the path, flew thru the air & broke my clavicle. Had to walk home (police met me there) covered in grass, sod & blood.

I could spend every second of every day finding things the city should fix. Trouble is priority. Then, when the city choses to fix something, it’s never enough.

Glad the city stepped in to immediately address a problem that has been growing for 18 years.

If you’re just getting internet, you don’t even need the Verizon router. They’ll install the ONT and then you let them know you’re using a 3rd party router. Just make sure it can handle gigabit.

While biking the SRT I had a car cross over the path while driving on the grass nearly hit me.
They stopped right before and then just laid on their horn. Like are you fucking kidding me?
The entitlement of drivers in this city in particular is uniquely out of control.
I think it mostly circles back to years of 0 enforcement. Cops could make a killing on moving violations at just about any intersection in the city.

I eagerly await news of the first actual ticket. I wonder if it will happen this year.

I'd love it if we could trust drivers to keep their cars out of the park without ugly ass barriers, but it seems we just can't have anything nice.

beggars can’t be choosers. I’m just hoping someone doesn’t drive over the ropes at some point. But we know they will. 🫤

Speed cushions and rumble strips would be nice, but this is a start.

This is just temporary until the actual construction begins, right?
…right?

Along with copious amounts of “$100 fine for driving in grass” signs. Nice to see the city finally doing something about a problem for once instead of the typical shoulder shrug. On nice weather days last year if regularly count 30-40+ cars parked on the grass along the river.

Hahahahaha!! I just measured our largest frying pan and it's only 13", and not cast iron. That must be a monster!

My right to cut 0.2 seconds off my drive is greater than your right to life and limb.
