I put in a work order to sweep Spring Park Road&#39;s bike lanes in March, and COJ said their estimated date of completion would be May. I followed up with the city, and still have no swept bike lanes as of last week (and no longer work at that office, so I stopped following up). Maybe since the city responded that way in the past, they will again someday? <br /><br />Also, I&#39;ve never been asked the DUI question, but often get told I&#39;m brave and/or crazy for riding my bike to work. I&#39;m not sure guys get that same remark, though. Jenny, you&#39;re right- I think once more people start riding in our city, bicycling will be thought of as &quot;normal&quot; and not some fringe thing or the only way someone with a DUI can get around...koulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04310387902811894535[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187938628038410499.post-15500888486467968962012-09-07T09:39:37.848-04:002012-09-07T09:39:37.848-04:00A good experience with the city: Once I went to coj.net to complain about the road debris in the bike lanes on Beach blvd near St. Johns Bluff. I wrote that the debris forced me into the traffic lane and made cycling in this area more dangerous than it should be. <br /><br />A couple of days later the streetsweepers took care of it, and a few days after that I got a letter from the city asking me how I liked their response to my request. I wrote a big &quot;thank you&quot; and mailed it back. That&#39;s how city government is supposed to work. <br /><br />That was several years ago.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06872857951901715452[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187938628038410499.post-47256441572518467812012-09-07T09:35:15.635-04:002012-09-07T09:35:15.635-04:00It always amazes me how it seems the majority of people here have never... um... actually lived in any other big city. Had they, they wouldn&#39;t just assume that a bike commuter is either a bum or a post DUI criminal. Sheesh.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13999756178229225019[email protected]
