I remember getting scolded by the cyclist in the Tam O’Shanter hat when I would stray onto the blacktop to shield my kids from the speeding bikes.

This was not passed.

The city council on Wednesday could pass the first reading of an ordinance to make the bike path and trail and multi-use area.

According to the city, members of the Traffic Commission have observed conflicts between pedestrians and bicyclists over who belongs where. The city’s staff reports says there is an “expectation on the part of the bicyclists that the paved portion is exclusive to bicycles when in fact, by custom and practice, this has been a shared use trail.”
