    Re: The MOST fund...What should we do with it

    obeying the new 3 foot law for the pedal pushers
    Don't think the problem is the new law, problem is that cagers have no idea how little three foot is. If the bicycle is along the white line then most cars can give them 3+ feet with just running there driver side tires on the yellow line. They want to give them 10+ feet for some reason and are running their pass. side tires on the yellow line!!!

    I know it's a long shot, but I would like to at least see some signs and maybe some education about pedel pushers staying along the white line and cagers giving them no more then 3 feet. Also be nice to see some signs/education/enforcement about passing bicycles on blind corners.

    Be nice to see if something could be done about c-dot and county workers covering corners in gravel. It's either deliberate or done out of complete stupidity.

    They have to backfill the edge of the road so it doesn't erode and destroy the road itself. They do typically sweep afterwards, but cars inevitably drop a tire off the side and pull a bunch of gravel onto the road. It's just something they have to do and we have to watch for.

    I realize that they need to maintain the edge of the road, but there are a lot cleaner/longer lasting solutions then just dumping some road base along the edge.
