Cottonwood Heights Chief of PoliceRobby Russo said the city will advocate for a revision to a new law that stops vehicles from traveling or parking in designat
First, the Chief looks like biking isn’t an activity he does regularly, so perhaps not a well-informed opinion there.
Second, there is a picture of a vehicle blocking a bike lane which appears to be used as an example of the problem. Of course, this vehicle is parked so far from the curb that it should probably be ticketed anyways.
Third, the area they use as an example is in front of a high school that appears to have been widened specifically to create a drop-off area. Unless you literally parked too far over, you wouldn’t interfere with the bike lane at all. Toss in some concrete bollards and this problem goes away.
Fourth, the school has a fucking drop off in the parking lot just beyond that spot, so its not like there is no alternative!
The newsletter they reference is ever funnier.
