Public Service Announcement from Bob Kellogg (Thanks Bob!)
As you may know, they are making plans to resurface the Vincent Thomas Bridge (VTB). Although the bridge itself is too narrow to add a bike/pedestrian lane, one could imagine hanging one on the side like the Bixby path we rode on Tuesday. They are currently accepting public comments on the resurfacing project. They are mainly looking for feedback on the lane closure schedule, but I submitted a comment saying they should look at adding a bike and pedestrian lane. You might consider submitting your own comment. It may not happen in our lifetime, but at least there will be some record of "the public" asking for it. |
