    Russo wrote that the issue is not unique to Cottonwood Heights, and they’re trying to better understand its intent.

    The intent is for the bike lane to be clear of obstructions, dumbass.

      Yep. We celebrated this win since there were other bills this session which make it harder for salt lake city to build more bike lanes. And this jackass doesn’t understand a clearly worded law. Can’t catch a break.

        He absolutely understanding it. Russo said that a lot of people wanted the law enforced as soon as it was enacted, then gave reasons against it without saying anyone brought those issues up to him. Those are things he is bringing up, not residents.

        He just doesn’t want to enforce the law.

    The newsletter they reference is ever funnier.

    • 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!

    Aw geez. If only there was something a person could do if they don’t want to do their job anymore.
