Phone Call: Dell Douglas called this morning to voice her concerns about bicycles on the paths and sidewalks at Bryan Park. During the past 3 years she has noticed more dangerous conditions due to the speed of bikers on the paths in the park. Most recently, she was walking far to the right on the path near the stream and a family on bicyles nearly ran into her. They were moving so quickly she was unable to say anything to them. She feels there is more disregard for pedestrians walking in the park and is afraid someone will suffer serious injury if things don't change. She would appreciate a call back from Mick after 6/14. Phone: 339-1137

Mick contact Ms. Douglas: Called Dell Douglass on 6/20/13. She expressed concern over safety of bike/ped path along creek at Bryan Park. She thought the path was a sidewalk and that bikes shouldn't be on it. I informed her that it was, in fact, a bike/ped path designed as part of the Allen Street bike boulevard so bikes couldn't be excluded from using it. I informed her that there is an effort to educate trail/path users on proper etiquette and that some signage may be placed on trails/bike/ped paths in the future. She asked about possible enforcement of unsafe riders. I informed her that there weren't sufficient parks or police resources to surveil the trails/paths to do this.
