There's no cure for the traffic/pedestrian bottleneck there. <br />Best now to leave the roadway the way it is, but improve pedestrian lanes to better accommodate bikes and fishermen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-23391370520564954702016-11-27T12:47:07.025-05:002016-11-27T12:47:07.025-05:00bigger problem is the drawbridge, not spending mon...bigger problem is the drawbridge, not spending money to widen anything.

There's just not enough room for that to allow foot traffic, let alone bikes. The fishermen are very accommodating and polite to the bicycle riders, giving them all the room that they need to pass. <br />Something should be done to expand that walkway so that everyone is safe and not inconvenienced.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-57883051375728337672016-11-26T19:56:58.887-05:002016-11-26T19:56:58.887-05:00The truith is.

Some of those who don't are really rude about people being in their way. <br />I notice that there's never any enforcement on or at the ends of the bridge by OCPD of bike rules, including the requisite bell, reflectors or lights.<br />Bells should probably be removed from state law, but lights and reflectors are a safety must.
